This research paper investigates the healing performance of epoxy matrix carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites, focusing on their ability to self-repair structural damage. The study explores the potential of these composites to autonomously heal microcracks and delamination, which can occur during service conditions, thereby extending the operational lifespan of composite structures. Through a comprehensive literature review, various healing mechanisms in composite materials are examined, highlighting the significance of healing performance in enhancing material durability and reliability. Experimental methods are employed to assess the healing capabilities of the composites, including characterization techniques such as optical microscopy, mechanical testing. This test are performed by varying the GO content from 0% to 1%. Thus maximum amount of fracture load obtained at the 0.50%.The results provide insights into the effectiveness of different healing mechanisms and their influence on the mechanical properties of the composites. The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of self-healing materials and have implications for the development of advanced composite structures with improved damage tolerance and longevity.
