Self-healing polymer fixes scratches
Loading...
Uploaded by case on Apr 18, 2011
Researchers at Case Western Reserve University say fixing scratches on cars and furniture may be cheap and easy to do yourself in the not-too-distant future. Together with partners in the USA and Switzerland, they have developed a polymer-based material that can heal itself when placed under ultraviolet light for less than a minute.

@D1vinus Im sure im completely wrong but it looks as if UV rays melt the polymer causing it to rearrange back into its original look.
