Broken polymer chains reform to repair a crack in this material when it is pressed together and exposed to UV light.
A new polymer material that can repeatedly heal itself at room temperature when exposed to ultraviolet light presents the tantalizing possibility of products that can repair themselves when damaged. Possibilities include self-healing medical implants, cars, or even airplane parts.
By delving into the futuring techniques of Futurist Thomas Frey, you’ll embark on an enlightening journey.
