The cost of making plastics, paints, coatings for cell phone screens and other materials that heal themselves like skin could be dramatically reduced thanks to a breakthrough that a Clemson... Read more
A new material developed by scientists in the UK that heals itself at body temperature could modernise wound dressings and regenerative medicines such as artificial skin. Self-healing polyme... Read more
Look out, super glue and paint thinner. Thanks to new dynamic materials developed at the University of Illinois, removable paint and self-healing plastics soon could be household products. U... Read more
What if these materials could be programmed to regenerate-themselves, replenishing the damaged or missing components, and thereby extend their lifetime and reduce the need for costly repairs... Read more
Scientists report the first self-healing thermoset elastomer that requires no intervention to induce its repair. Self-healing polymers mend themselves by reforming broken cross-linking bonds... Read more
