Smart Polymer Composites

  Low-Temperature Printable Self-Healing Polymers (Printing Materials That Heal — Engineering the Future of Resilient Systems) Dr. Pulla Sammaiah Professor Center for Materials and Manufacturing Department Of Mechanical Engineering SR University, Warangal. pullasammaiah@sru.edu.in     Opening Scene: The Moment of Failure A flexible electronic device bends and form a micro-crack in the material results the system fails. This is the mute restriction of the modern engineering materials that they fall apart before the ideas can. In any industry, be it electric vehicles or even aerospace, durability is not the design, but the weakest link. Suppose now that materials have the ability to heal themselves, not human skin, but material, after being cut like human skin does. Think of how we could directly print such materials directly with 3D printing. It is not a science fiction. This is the new area of low temperature printable self-healing polymers. The Core Problem: Where Engine...

Across industries, from electric vehicles to aerospace systems, the weakest link is not design, but durability.   Now imagine if materials could repair themselves automatically, just like human skin healing after a cut. Imagine if we could print such materials directly...
