The material can self-heal in just 24 hours when warmed to 158°F or in about a week at room temperature.
The new materials can sense thermal, mechanical or electrical changes around them and even recognize pressure. Better yet, they can autonomously heal themselves.
"It is soft and stretchable. But if you puncture it, slice it, or cut it each layer will selectively heal with itself to restore the overall function. Just like real skin," co-author Sam Root said.Self-healing in 24 hours The material can self-heal in just 24 hours when warmed to 158°F or in about a week at room temperature.
"Combining with magnetic field-guided navigation and induction heating, we may be able to build reconfigurable soft robots that can change shape and sense their deformation on demand," co-author Renee ZhaoThe researchers now plan to superimpose thin layers of skins that have different abilities, such as a layer that can sense a change in temperature and another layer that senses pressure. This will bring the fake skin as close to the multidimensional real things as possible.
