New self-healing materials were successfully developed
Recently, scientists at the San Sebastián Electrochemical Technology Center in Spain have successfully developed a new self-healing material
.
They say the material could help extend the life and safety
of plastics used in cars, houses and electrical components.
In the experiment, the researchers first cut off
a section of sample material.
Within an hour, the material begins to "self-heal"; Within two hours, 97% of the material had "self-healed" – the materials seemed to be completely integrated; After 22 hours, the material completely "healed," and it didn't break
when the researchers stretched it with their hands toward both ends.
In fact, in 2011, scientists at Case Western Reserve University in the United States developed a "self-healing" polymer, but it needs ultraviolet radiation to self-heal
.
The self-healing material successfully developed by Spanish scientists is a thermosetting elastomer that heals itself at room temperature without any external intervention
such as heat or light.
