Several strategies can be employed to mitigate the formation of microcracks:
Material Design: Designing materials with optimized microstructures to enhance mechanical properties and reduce the likelihood of crack formation. Surface Coatings: Applying protective coatings to prevent environmental factors from inducing microcracks. Stress Relief Processes: Implementing processes that relieve internal stresses during material synthesis and processing. Nanofillers: Incorporating nanofillers in composites to enhance mechanical strength and toughness, thereby reducing crack propagation.
