Nanotechnology Leads to Self Healing Paints and Clever Packaging

Research chemists at the University
of Warwick have devised an elegant process which simply and cheaply covers
small particles of polymer with a layer of silica-based nanoparticles. The final
result provides a highly versatile material that can be used to create a range
of high performance materials such as: self healing paints, and clever packaging
that can be tailored to let precise levels of water, air or both pass in a particular
direction.
