The current and potential future methods of developing self-healing materials will be discussed, and their specific applications within the automotive industry, will be explored in the following ...

A transparent protective coating material that can be self-healed in 30 minutes when exposed to sunlight has been developed. Excellent durability of automotive coatings is the most important issue in ...

Scientists in the United States have invented a new “self-healing” material that may dramatically expand the life span of parts used for planes, cars and other structures by hundreds of years.

Self-healing coatings are advanced materials that can repair damage, such as scratches and cracks on their own. Researchers have developed an efficient method for preparing self-healing films ...

Pesky scratches from fellow drivers (who don’t always leave a note) could become a thing of the past: Scientists created a new material that heals itself within 30 minutes when exposed to sunlight. If ...

Internal damage in fiber-reinforced composites, materials used in structures of modern airplanes and automobiles, is difficult to detect and nearly impossible to repair by conventional methods. A ...

Self-healing materials could help to increase the longevity of materials, while reducing maintenance costs and increasing their sustainability. They can repair physical damage and increase the ...

Safety issues of self-driving cars have emerged due to frequent self-driving traffic accidents. A self-healing lens material that can prevent car accidents that occur due to signal distortion by ...
