In order to promote the sustainability of cementitious materials, it is imperative to reduce the level of environmental pollution and energy consumption during their production, as well as extend the service life of building elements. This study utilized limestone, calcined clay and gypsum as supplementary cementitious materials to prepare LC3 mortar, replacing 50% of ordinary silicate cement. Three types of microcapsules (M1, M2 and M3) were prepared using IPDI as a healing agent and polyethylene wax, polyethylene wax/nano-CaCO3 or polyethylene wax/ferrous powder as shell materials. The microcapsules were added to the LC3 mortar and tested for their effects on the mechanical properties, pore structure and permeability of mortars. Pre-loaded and pre-cracked mortar specimens were subjected to room temperature or under an applied magnetic field to evaluate the self-healing ability of the microcapsules on mortars. The kinetics of the curing reaction between IPDI and moisture were investigated using quasi-first-order and quasi-second-order reaction kinetic models. The experimental results showed that the mortar (S3) mixed with electromagnetic inductive microcapsules (M3) exhibited the best self-healing ability. The compressive strength retention, the percentage of pores larger than 0.1 μm, recovery of chloride diffusion coefficient and maximum amplitude after self-healing of S3 were 92.2%, 42.6%, 78.9% and 28.87 mV, respectively. Surface cracks with an initial width of 0.3~0.5 mm were healed within 24 h. The curing reaction between IPDI and moisture during self-healing followed a quasi-second-order reaction kinetic model.
