Researchers work on self-healing structure materials
Abstract:
The sensor system would also tell first responders where to go and what areas were still safe after a collapse. In industry, it would allow businesses to gauge repair costs.
Zagrai said the sensors would involve nanotechnology and microelectronic components.
As for the self-healing materials, Bakhtiarov said the group wants to at least develop substances that heal themselves with exposure to certain temperatures. The engineers are also considering using capsules.
