description A self-healing composite material comprises a fibre-reinforced polymer matrix containing a thermosetting polymer and a thermoplastic polymer that together form a solid solution. The reinforcing fibres may be carbon fibres forming one or more layers. Preferably, the thermosetting polymer is an epoxy resin and the thermoplastic polymer is polybisphenol-A-co-epichlorohydrin. A method for forming the composite is also disclosed, whereby a solution of a prepreg of the thermosetting and thermoplastic polymers may be used to impregnate a layer of reinforcing fibres before curing the thermosetting polymer. In another aspect, the composite comprises a fibre-reinforced polymer matrix containing a thermosetting polymer and a thermoplastic polymer with a damage detection system. The detection system may detect changes in acoustic wave propagation or resistance. Any damage may be repaired by a method in which the affected area is heated to the fusion temperature of the thermoplastic polymer, for example, by passing a current through the fibres.
