Self-healing plastic
Numéro d’image : 11899566
| Self-healing plastic. Light micrograph of microcapsules (red circles) released from a self- repairing plastic. Some of them have repaired a crack (solid red area) in the plastic. The plastic could be used in spacecraft or surgical implants that would otherwise be hard to repair. It is a polymer composite made of reinforcing fibres and microcapsule-containing epoxy resin. Damage to the plastic ruptures the microcapsules,causing the repair fluid they hold to leak out. A catalyst (black dots) in the resin converts the fluid into a tough solid polymer. The plastic was made by a team from the University of Illinois,USA,led by Scott White. Magnification: x30 at 5x7cm size | |
