U.S. Army Lab and Texas A&M researchers develop ‘self-healing’ polymer 3D printing materials

Researchers from Texas A&M University and the U.S. Army Research Laboratory have developed a new family of recyclable, self-healing polymeric 3D printing materials.  By increasing the number of crosslinking molecules within existing elastomers, the team found they could give the materials customized levels of strength. The polymers’ covalent permanent networks also demonstrated the ability to detach […]
