Nikolay Nikolov over 2 years ago 1558 schubert-group.de Functional polymers for the 21st century: From self-healing materials to new batteries . Ulrich S. Schubert . Laboratory of Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry (IOMC) Jena Center for Soft Matter (JCSM) Self-healing materials are those that have a potential to repair mechanical damages and cracks caused by over-usage, without the need for human interference. The key potential benefits of self-healing materials are as follows: Minimizing the production cost of various industrial processes required for repairing damage. Researchers at Case Western Reserve University say fixing scratches on cars and furniture may be cheap and easy to do yourself in the not-too-distant future. Together with partners in the USA and Which is why I've brainstormed a list of 105 writing prompts for self-reflection and self-discovery for you! Personally, I love lists, and with a list this extensive, I hope it provides you with lots of ideas to explore through self-reflection via writing. List 20 things that make you smile; Write about 5 things you are grateful for this week The first self-healing materials were polymers (plastics made from long, repeating molecules) with a kind of embedded internal adhesive, reported in 2001 by Scott White, Nancy Sottos, and colleagues from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Since then, a variety of other self-healing materials have been developed. How do Self-Healing Materials work? The process of self-healing is made possible by the materials added. This can be applied to virtually any material group. Self-Healing Process 1. First of all, a material will be damaged. 2. Then, the material must detect where the damage is located. 3. The repair is carried out: a chemical reaction creates A 'read' is counted each time someone views a publication summary (such as the title, abstract, and list of authors), clicks on a figure, or views or downloads the full-text. Self-Healing Materials: Principles and Technology is a practical book aimed at giving engineers and researchers in both industry and academia the information they need to deploy self-healing technology in a wide range of potential applications—from adhesives to the automotive industry, and from electronics to biomedical implants.
