A method for synthesizing calcium-silicate-based porous particles (CSPPs) is described. Control over CSPP morphology and pore size is achieved through a refined solution-based synthesis, allowing loading of a variety of sealants. These particles, upon external stimuli, release the loaded sealant into the surrounding material. Methods of loading the CSPPs with loading sealant are described. The CSPPs may be used in pure form or mixed with another material to deliver self-healing, sealing and multi-functional properties to a physical structure. The composition of the CSPPs is described, along with methods of use of the CSPPs.

Embodiments provide a method for controlled release of a cement additive for use in a wellbore. The method includes the steps of mixing an aramide capsule with a cement slurry to form an additive-containing slurry, and introducing the additive-containing slurry into the wellbore. The aramide capsule is formed by interfacial polymerization where an aramide polymer forms a semi-permeable membrane encapsulating the cement additive.
