Structeryx and NC State researchers introduced a self-healing composite integrating 3D-printed thermoplastic interlayers and carbon heating layers to repair internal delamination.

Structeryx and NC State researchers introduced a self-healing composite integrating 3D-printed thermoplastic interlayers and carbon heating layers to repair internal delamination. By utilizing Joule heating, the system restores 100% of fracture toughness repeatedly, while the printed pattern increases initial resistance by 4x. This shift to autonomous in situ repair leverages additive precision to target failure interfaces directly. Aerospace and wind energy components could see lifespans extended to a century-scale. 🛠️ #AdditiveManufacturing #MaterialsScience #CompositeInnovation #Sustainability
