Bleeding‐Mimetic Damage‐Detecting and Self‐Healing Modular Skin for Inflatable Structures
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Inflatable Structures In article number 2500009, Hyun Jae Lee and Ryuma Niiyama developed a damage-detecting and self-healing system inspired by the human bleeding mechanism for inflatable structures, using a liquid conductive elastomeric material enclosed in a small pouch. This material, composed of uncured elastomer, its curing agent, conductive particles, and a dispersant, solidifies only after being exposed to air and serves as a protection against cutting and penetrating damage.
