On November 10, it was reported by US media that future smart phones can absorb carbon from the air to repair broken screens.
According to a report on the website of "Popular Science" monthly magazine on November 6th, researchers will soon release materials that can "self-repair".
Once on the market, it is likely to be widely used as a self-healing coating, such as for car repairs, mobile phones and fabrics.
When the surface is cracked or scratched, it can fill the cracks by contacting air and sunlight without taking other measures.
In addition, this material has low transportation costs and low energy consumption because it can be delivered to manufacturers and builders in a light and small size.
After reaching the destination and then exposed to air and sunlight, it will swell, solidify and harden.
The researchers said that this material not only avoids the use of fossil fuels, but also absorbs carbon dioxide in the air, which is clearly beneficial to the environment and climate.
MIT Professor of Chemical Engineering Michael Strano said: "We humans can choose to either extract oil from the ground to build the world, make the plastic we can see everywhere, or follow the natural use of carbon in the air.
First, The first step is to imagine materials that can grow and repair themselves like plants and trees.
The next step is to put them into practice.
Then, after improvements and optimizations, we can use these new materials that can be constantly updated to replace the now rotten materials.
"
Strano said, the beauty of this product is that "it doesn’t need anything except carbon dioxide in the air and ambient light, and these two things are everywhere.
These materials absorb carbon in the air and constantly The ground repairs itself without any external stimuli.
The energy used by materials constructed with carbon dioxide and external light is at our fingertips today.
This is a return to the most basic definition of sustainable development.
"
Strano’s laboratory recently created a material that can chemically react with carbon dioxide in the air, and then grow, solidify, and even repair itself.
The researchers said that, unlike other studies in the material field, the material they studied does not require any external input of energy, such as heat, ultraviolet light, chemicals, or mechanical stress.
The result of the study is a colloidal synthetic polymer, and uses the chloroplast (the biological component of the plant for photosynthesis) extracted from the leaves of spinach by researchers.
This polymer continuously converts carbon dioxide into self-reinforcing carbon-based substances. Researchers such as Strano recently published a paper in the US "Advanced Materials" magazine introducing their research results.
