Self-healing polymer. Close-up of a semi-crystalline resin being cut with a knife. This unique material has the ability to self-heal when the two cut surfaces are touched back together. The material is derived from fatty acid oligomers from vegetable oils. The material can also revert back to its original shape when stretched apart even if reconnected many hours since breakage. Self healing polymer could have uses in medicine and industry | |
