Self-Healing Composites

/sɛlf ˈhiː.lɪŋ kəmˈpɒz.ɪts/noun
ELI5 mode

Self-healing composites are innovative materials engineered to detect and repair their own damage, such as cracks or fractures, through embedded mechanisms like capsules of healing agents. This self-repair capability mimics biological systems and significantly boosts durability in real-world applications, from aerospace to everyday products, by minimizing the need for manual fixes and extending material lifespan.
