SELF-HEALING POLYMER MATERIALS FOR WIRE INSULATION, POLYIMIDES, FLAT SURFACES, AND INFLATABLE STRUCTURES

摘要

Materials based on low melt polyimide, polyurea, or polyurethane chemistry have been developed which exhibit self-healing properties. These high performance polymers can be utilized either by themselves or in combination with microcapsule technology to deliver self-healing properties to electrical wire insulation or in other high performance, thin wall technologies such as inflatable structures.
