Self-healing cutting boards made of wood or cork have a malleable surface that allows it to snap back together after being cut, preventing gouges and dulling knives less. The natural materials used may also have antibacterial and odor-resistant properties. The healing effect is an illusion created by the material’s natural properties. Cork cutting boards are […]
Self-healing materials can repair structural damage without human intervention, inspired by biological processes. Microencapsulated systems, microvascular systems, and mechanochemically active polymers are used to create them. They have practical applications in spacecraft, airplanes, and synthetic rubber-like products. Self-healing materials are substances that can automatically repair structural cracks or other damage, an ability that can significantly […]
