Provided is a composition with which a film that allows transmission of infrared light in a state where noise generated from visible light is small can be formed. In addition, provided are a film, a laminate, an infrared transmitting filter, a solid image pickup element, and an infrared sensor. This composition includes: a coloring material that allows transmission of infrared light and shields visible light; an infrared absorber; and a curable compound, in which the infrared absorber includes a material that shields light in a wavelength range of longer than 1000 nm and 1200 nm or shorter. In the composition, a ratio A/B of a minimum value A of an absorbance of the composition in a wavelength range of 400 to 1100 nm to a maximum value B of an absorbance of the composition in a wavelength range of 1400 to 1500 nm is 4.5 or higher.

Embodiments provide a method for monitoring structural integrity of a hardened cement. An aramide capsule, a cement, and a water to form a cement slurry. The cement slurry is set to form a hardened cement, where the aramide capsule is embedded in the hardened cement. Imperfections of the hardened cement are detected by measuring electrical resistivity of the hardened cement. The aramide capsule is formed by interfacial polymerization using a surfactant, a dispersed monomer, a crosslinker such that a semi-permeable membrane is formed surrounding a core.

Embodiments provide a mortar slurry and a method for preparing a hardened mortar. The method includes the steps of: mixing an aramide capsule, a cement, a silica, and a water to form a mortar slurry; and allowing the mortar slurry to set to form the hardened mortar, where the aramide capsule is embedded in the hardened mortar. A continuous solvent and a surfactant are mixed to produce a continuous phase. A dispersed solvent and a dispersed monomer are mixed to produce a dispersed phase. The continuous solvent and a crosslinker are mixed to produce a crosslinker solution. The continuous phase and the dispersed phase are mixed to form a mixture having an emulsion such that the dispersed phase is dispersed as droplets in the continuous phase, where an interface defines the droplets of the dispersed phase dispersed in the continuous phase. The crosslinker solution is added to the mixture such that the crosslinker reacts with the dispersed monomer. An aramide polymer forms on the interface of the droplets, forming the aramide capsule. The aramide capsule is settled and separated from the mixture, and is dried to form a free flowing powder.

A wellbore cement composition that includes a cross-linked polyamide. The polyamide is formed by reacting a di-functional amine with an aromatic tri-functional carboxylic acid. The wellbore cement composition is created by blending cement and water with the polyamide and then allowed to cure. Increases in compressive strength, Young's Modulus, and Poisson's Ratio of the cement are realized by adding the polyamide to the cement composition.
