New Plastic Bleeds Red When Scratched, Then Heals Itself Like Skin
Sounds promising, but I distrust these "might be" inventions...
Anyone here has special knowledge about this material?
If it's what was in Nature 5-10 years ago, then it's entirely
plausible that it would be further developed by now.
They didn't have any red coloring ("if it bleeds, it leads"?) but the
basic idea was to encapsulate uncured monomer components in a
normally cured part so that when microcracks started to develop and
propagate, they'd release the monomers, which would then set up,
"healing" the fractures.
