      Goes directly against the planned obselence of products in the modern age so it’ll never be allowed to enter commercial products ever. Hope all the researchers make it clear that they’re healthy, of sound mind and have no intentions of self harm or injury.

      > It is also said to be significantly stronger than the composites currently used to manufacture aircraft wings, turbine blades, and similar hardware.

      This is a very confusing sentence, but I presume they mean wind turbine blades because jet engine turbine blades would not be a great idea to make out of fibre reinforced polymers.

      It won’t be very common in many consumer products due to bottom line benefits of planned obsolescence, no to mention the high cost of implementing such a material into a manufacturing supply chain. But may be a viable material for more „critical“ and „sensitive“ applications across a diversity of industries.

      My concern is not only the material science .. it’s the insurance and maintenance industry quietly panicking about what happens to their pricing models when components stop needing replcement…

      I don’t think companies really want that. Everything is made to fail now. even the very electrical components they are made from are not designed to last.

      It would be great for long term space flight as in a interstellar ship. The concrete the romans used also was self healing.

      > Another key innovation is the addition of carbon-based embedded heater layers. When an electric current is applied, these layers warm and melt the EMAA interlayer, allowing the material to flow into microscopic cracks and re bond the damaged interface. The process, which relies on polymer chain re entanglement, is referred to as „thermal remending.“

      I am not clear from this if the restore happens while the part is installed, or if it needs to be removed and then remended elsewhere. Still could be drastically cheaper than a new part…if it works practically.

      If that means more time without having to buy a new one, it’s not gonna happen.
