Self-healing coatings are advanced materials that can repair damage, such as scratches and cracks on their own. Researchers have developed an efficient method for preparing self-healing films ...

One increasingly popular method is self-assembly. This process involves the spontaneous organization of individual components into a larger, functional structure without the need for external control ...

Applying a magnetic field to the viruses during self-assembly reduces the amount of twisting between neighboring viruses, ...

Self-assembly is the process by which an organized structure spontaneously forms from individual components, as a result of specific, local interactions among the components. When the constitutive ...

Researchers have developed an efficient method for preparing self-healing films that are more durable, more thermally stable ...

Researchers at Waseda University developed a more efficient method to create self-healing films using organosiloxane and ...

By eliminating the use of thermal cyclers or other fancy heating equipment, this greatly simplifies the process of nanostructure ... demonstrating DNA nanostructure assembly at body temperature ...

Polysiloxane materials, such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based elastomers, exhibit a self-healing capability by the ...

Molecular self-assembly is the spontaneous association of molecules, through non covalent bonds and under equilibrium conditions, into stable, structurally well-defined aggregates. A superlattice ...

and grafted PDMS layers using a self-assembly process. “Replacing traditional materials with our self-healing material, which is less susceptible to deterioration and has high hardness ...
