The development of self-healing materials has surged forward as scientists have taken inspiration from biological systems.
Researchers at the University of Illinois in the US have found a way to pump healing fluids around a material like the circulation of animal’s blood.
Materials that could repair themselves as they crack would have uses in civil engineering and construction.
Their results are published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface — via redwolf.newsvine.com
