摘要

This report details two study visits undertaken by University of Bristol researchers to the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign between 13th - 17th March 2006 and 5th - 9th February 2007 to discuss collaboration on MURI activities and broader self-healing work. During the first visit (see Agenda/Itinerary in Appendix 1 and 2). the programme of work started with two days of discussions and presentations by UlUC researchers and a seminar by the Bristol team on their current work. A day of laboratory activities and familiarization was interspersed with these activities. Time for consolidation allowed the generation of several areas for future collaboration.
