Dendrimers exhibit healing functionalities on polymer level. In the present chapter, the effect of hydrogen bonded supramolecular polymers (SP) into high performance aerospace carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) is assessed. More precisely, the interlaminar fracture toughness of unidirectional...
