Polymer Claw: Instant Underwater Adhesive.

摘要

The goal of this project is to develop a primer additive that mimics the self-healing ability of skin by forming a polymer scar across scratches. Designed to work with existing military grade primers. Polyfibroblast consists of microscopic, hollow zinc tubes filled with a moisture-cured polyurethane- urea (MCPU). When scratched, the foaming action of a propellant ejects the resin from the broken tubes and completely fills the crack. No catalysts or curing agents are needed since the polymerization is driven by ambient humidity.
