New plastic resins like human

Scientists have developed a new plastic that can automatically recover when scratched, crushed or simply deformed.

Whenever a new item is in use, everyone is very careful to avoid falling apart. Fortunately, scientists have come up with a new plastic that can automatically recover when scratched, crushed or simply deformed.

By adding a number of special ingredients and a small amount of zinc to the epoxy resin mixture, a team of French scientists created a new plastic that has chemical bonds that constantly break and recover. When it is cold, it becomes very hard, keeping the original shape. When heated, the material becomes very plastic, allowing the material to recover its own scratches or dents.

Normally plastic materials are divided into two types: thermoplastic and thermoplastic. The first material can be heated and reshaped continuously, but at the weakest level, the remaining material can be formed once only but at a high level. The material we are talking about is mediated by these two types, which can be configured many times and at a high level. Even its shape is maintained when crushed and recycled. This is really an ideal material, hopefully in the future will be widely applied to the objects.
