2013年9月,西班牙圣塞瓦斯蒂安电化学技术中心的科学家开发出世界上第一个自我修复的聚合物-“自愈热固性弹性体”。此前科学家们研制的自愈有机硅弹性体需使用银纳米粒子作为交联剂,十分昂贵,过程中也要施加外力。现在他们利用了十分普遍的聚合起始材料以及简单而廉价的方法进行开发,新产生的聚合物是首个无需催化剂、不进行干预诱导就能 In September 2013, scientists from the San Sebastian Electrochemical Technology Center in Spain developed the world’s first self-healing polymer - “Self-Healing Thermoset Elastomer”. Previously scientists developed self-healing silicone elastomers need to use silver nanoparticles as a cross-linking agent, is very expensive, the process must exert external force. Now they exploit the very common polymerization starting materials and simple and cheap methods to develop the newly produced polymer is the first catalyst-free, can be induced without intervention
