Smart rubber will recover its original mechanical strength within several hours of being split and then subsequently recombined. Residual hydrogen bond donors and acceptors responsible for the self-healing properties of the elastomer remain unpaired until the newly exposed surface comes in contact with another complementary surface, allowing formation of new intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
Self-amalgamating tape is a non-tacky silicone rubber tape that when stretched and wrapped around cables, electrical joints, hoses, and pipes combines or unites itself into a strong, seamless, rubbery, waterproof, and electrically insulating layer. [1] [2] Unlike many other polymers and fibers, it is heat-, sunlight-, and weather-resistant.
Mummification is a form of bondage in which a person is wrapped in some form of wrap in order to restrict them on movement. [1] Different forms of wrap include duct tape, cohesive wrap, plastic wrap, [2] medical bandages and blankets. [3] It is part of Bondage (BDSM), and can be related to sexual or therapeutic play. [4]
Self-healing of early stage damage is thus a promising new approach to extend the lifetime of the metallic components. In metals, self-healing is intrinsically more difficult to achieve than in most other material classes, due to their high melting point and, as a result, low atom mobility.
Self-healing hydrogels are a specialized type of polymer hydrogel.A hydrogel is a macromolecular polymer gel constructed of a network of crosslinked polymer chains. Hydrogels are synthesized from hydrophilic monomers by either chain or step growth, along with a functional crosslinker to promote network formation.
The Henderson Safety Tank Company provided crash-proof self-sealing fuel and oil tanks which were fitted "as standard" to the Miles Master trainer. [2] German aircraft designers used layers of rubber laid over leather hide with a treated fiber inner surface for the self-sealing tanks on the Junkers Ju 88 early in the war. [3]
[10] [11] [12] The product found early use as a food wrap, its very low oxygen permeability helping to keep foods fresh. [ 8 ] [ 13 ] [ 14 ] Its clinginess and better stability at a range of humidities was an advantage over the cellulose wrapping films used previously; Pliofilm became about as popular as Cellophane by 1937 and had supplanted ...
A self-adhering bandage or cohesive bandage (coban) [1] is a type of bandage or wrap that coheres to itself but does not adhere well to other surfaces. "Coban" by 3M is commonly used as a wrap on limbs because it will stick to itself and not loosen.
