Simultaneous improvement of heating efficiency and mechanical strength of a self-healing thermoplastic polymer by hybridizing magnetic particles with conductive fibres

•A CFV/Fe3O4 hybrid modification method to improve the inductive heating and mechanical bonding strength of thermoplastic composites.•The mechanical bonding shear strength of EMAA composite can reach as high as 8.9 MPa, even after six repeated debonding/rebonding cycles.•The synergistic effect in improving inductive heating performance of composites stemmed from additional conductivity improvement.•Possible application in contactless composite healing and reversible bonding.
