ABSTRACT The present contribution relates to the applications of FT-IR investigation in the field of thermosetting polymers with structural function. In particular, we focus our attention on self-healing materials that are the subject of increasing interest because they can be used in many different applications extending the lifetime of the material. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a method to control the success of the self-repair reactions. We show as Infrared Spectroscopy proves to be a useful way to identify metathesis product directly inside the epoxy resin during the curing reactions of epoxy formulations containing catalyst powder dispersed at molecular level.
