00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,640
ever since Humpty the egg first fell off his wall people have been dreaming up

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:10,719
ways to put him together again this led to the invention of adhesiv such as

3
00:00:08,599 --> 00:00:15,360
tapes glues and a wide range of specialized polymers none of which did

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:20,000
very much for our friend at the base of the wall then one of the King's Men

5
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:25,160
spoke up and said why can't other things just heal themselves the same way that

6
00:00:22,359 --> 00:00:30,279
we do this is where the invention of self or autonomic healing materials

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:34,879
comes in which mimic the properties of biological systems like our own when

8
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:40,039
damage is inflicted to an autonomic healing compound there is first a near

9
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:44,280
immediate trigger response that works to prevent the loss of further material

10
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:48,559
somewhat similar to blood clotting that step is followed shortly by transport of

11
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:53,039
the materials which are necessary for the third process to take place the

12
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:56,640
actual healing this is done in a variety of different ways and across different

13
00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:00,840
time frames but there are a couple of basic design outlines which are most

14
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:05,320
frequently used the the first method aptly named the hollow tube approach

15
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:09,439
works by utilizing a network of tiny glass or Fiber capillaries that are

16
00:01:07,759 --> 00:01:13,400
often used already as a way of reinforcing the ttile strength of

17
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:17,360
plastic polymers some of these microchannels are then filled with

18
00:01:15,119 --> 00:01:22,960
either a highly attractive bonding monomer or a slower working hardening

19
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:27,560
substance both of which are dispersed if the healing material receives damage

20
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:31,600
such as a cut or a break this will cause them to mix together first allowing the

21
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:36,360
monomers to create a bond between the severed sections with the hardening

22
00:01:33,399 --> 00:01:39,680
agent causing it to solidify afterward since the two reacting agents needed to

23
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:43,720
create the healing are continually replenished from external sources this

24
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:49,040
type of application tends to Trend towards static structural possibilities

25
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:54,320
the second and perhaps more commonly used design is known as the microcapsule

26
00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:57,680
healing method it is similar in theory to the previous model but instead of

27
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:01,680
using tiny channels to deliver the bonding monomers they are encapsulated

28
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:06,079
in a substance which is designed to rupture whenever damage is inflicted

29
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:09,800
that activates the trigger response not unlike when a trigger response causes

30
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:14,599
your significant other to release some hostility that they've been

31
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:18,599
encapsulating anyways when these capsules do happen to become ruptured

32
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:22,560
the monomers inside the mix with a catalyst that is freely distributed in

33
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:26,319
the healing compound around them allowing for the polymerization bond to

34
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:31,319
take place without the addition of extra heat or influence while these designs

35
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:35,120
are more autonomous the lack of an externally fed delivery system means

36
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:39,560
they are less efficient at repairing large damage and will deplete their

37
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:44,440
embedded monomers much more quickly through use leading them to be looked at

38
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:47,840
more for their protective qualities likely it is this type of material that

39
00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:51,800
would be used on any articles that you already own that employ self-healing

40
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:55,720
technology such as the deflex series of phones from LG where the function is

41
00:02:53,959 --> 00:02:59,480
purely aesthetic and if you break the phone in half it's not just going to

42
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:03,480
whip itself back together it's just to keep your your phone looking shiny but

43
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:07,360
there is potential for even cooler stuff in the future and this design model has

44
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:12,000
also been implemented using conductive materials and monomers as well so when

45
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:15,799
Engineers design an electrical circuit that could like repair itself after

46
00:03:13,879 --> 00:03:20,519
being separate I mean think about the applications of this that this could

47
00:03:17,799 --> 00:03:24,560
have on the durability and lifespan of electronic components pretty cool stuff

48
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:28,400
I mean it sounds great let's just start making everything out of this stuff so

49
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:33,480
we can go ahead and get on with uh abusing our devices the way that many of

50
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:38,560
us are habitually want to do as if any of these videos were ever that simple

51
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:43,799
while many materials are labeled as self-healing often times they fall short

52
00:03:41,239 --> 00:03:48,640
of true autonomy as they require the use of excess resins during manufacturing

53
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:52,640
and light or heat conditions that need to be applied manually or through the

54
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:56,400
use of a complimenting device So currently these systems are very limited

55
00:03:54,760 --> 00:04:01,319
in terms of the amount and type of damage they can repair due to the eventual depletion of either the

56
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:05,040
compound deliver dely channels or the embedded monomer capsules and Catalyst

57
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:08,640
that I mentioned before so for the time being it might be best if you refrain

58
00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:12,239
from doing your best Jason vor's impression and acting like your phone is

59
00:04:10,079 --> 00:04:15,439
a counselor at Camp Crystal Lake unless of course you've got the means to

60
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:20,280
replace it at a moment's notice when you're machete ends up slicing it to

61
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:23,320
bits so while we may never be able to do anything for that pile of soup that was

62
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:28,320
once Humpty at least in the meantime we can keep your cell phone from looking

63
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,919
