He is a professor and Canada Research Chair, Tier II, the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in Nanobioscience. Patel is quick to give credit to the project's success to the Oh Research Group, which John Oh led. Fixes Damages and Screen Cracks FastĪ News EN report specified that according to Horizon postdoctoral fellow and co-author on the paper, Pothana Gandhi, such materials could rapidly fix damages and cracks because of the self-healing mechanism.Ĭonsequently, these materials save consumers' time and money while prolonging the lifespan and the material used and reducing the environmental burden. The developed materials presented extended outcomes at room temperature. The said feature sets the research apart from others.Įssentially, the research team developed self-healing polymer networks using very simple routes. He continued saying they are focusing on total healing on scratches at only room temperature. The first author added their goal not to compromise the network's robustness while adding the dynamic capability of self-healing impairment and scratches. Patel said that this study, Self-Healable Reprocessable Triboelectric Nanogenerators Fabricated with Vitrimeric Poly (hindered Urea) Networks, published in ACS Nano, is a standout from similar research on the topic due to its concentration on temperature. Self-healing polymer materials can rapidly fix damages and cracks because of the self-healing mechanism.
