Auto-healing polymer material at room temperature

Auto-healing polymer material at room temperature

Recently, scientists at the CIDETEC Electrochemical Research Centre in Spain have made a breakthrough by developing a unique polymer material capable of self-healing at room temperature. Unlike traditional self-healing materials that require heat, UV light, or chemical triggers, this new material can repair itself naturally under normal conditions. The process relies on metathesis reactions, which allow the formation of covalent bonds between molecules, effectively merging broken sections of the material.

This innovation is impressive not only for its simplicity but also for the high level of structural integrity it restores. After healing, the material maintains its original strength and durability, making it resistant to further damage. This makes it a promising candidate for various applications, such as industrial adhesives, electronic components, and even medical devices where long-term reliability is essential.

The potential impact of this discovery could be significant, especially in industries where material failure can lead to costly repairs or safety hazards. By reducing the need for maintenance and extending product lifespans, this self-healing polymer could revolutionize manufacturing and design practices. Researchers are now exploring ways to scale up production and integrate the material into real-world products, bringing us one step closer to more durable and sustainable technology.

Low Creep Refractory Brick

Low creep clay refractory bricks are made of selected high alumina clinker, mullite, combined with clay as the main raw materials, high pressure molding, high temperature sintering and become. The product has excellent high temperature physical properties and chemical corrosion resistance. According to the creep rate (0.2MPa, 1280 ℃, 25h) can be divided into ≤ 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8% of the three series of low creep clay brick.
