self-healing materials
Self-healing materials are innovative substances designed to automatically repair damage without human intervention. These materials can mend cracks, scratches, or other forms of wear, extending their lifespan and maintaining functionality. They are often used in various applications, including electronics, automotive, and construction.
The self-healing process typically involves embedded microcapsules or networks that release healing agents when damaged. This technology mimics biological healing processes found in living organisms, making it a promising area of research in materials science. As development continues, self-healing materials may revolutionize how we approach product durability and maintenance.
