“This material, as well as furs, will be in demand in many areas of our lives – said the head of the research team, Jose Miguel Marin. – It will be used in the textile and automotive industries, the manufacture of paints, cosmetics. He needed space industry and medicine. And the whole “blame” – its ability to avtoregeneratsii. ”

Cut a sheet of this material and dock with each other resulting parts – 10-15 seconds, they will grow together again as if they had not cut. To repair damaged items made of the new polymer requires neither glue nor any additional binders. Connecting parts do not need to compress the press that they are once again “stuck” do not need them for that and heat.

Scientists emphasize that the material has a “shape memory” – this is a very important quality that will ensure the demand for it, for example, in the automotive industry: the impact crumpled body parts will immediately return to its original shape.

Another characteristic of the polymer – a high degree of flexibility: the product of it can be stretched to a length of one thousand times the original size, and “without damage to return to its original position.”
