The polymer glows in places that are not damaged, and 95% can be reused.
Corrosion is a serious issue that concerns everything from skyscrapers, bridges, ships, airplanes, and cars – basically, everything humans build that involves metals is subjected to oxidation.that claims to have properties that allow it to diagnose, self-heal, and is recyclable. The product named Poly Phenylene Methylene was developed by a team of researchers led by Markus Niederberger and Walter Caseri from the Laboratory for Multifunctional Materials.
Furthermore, along with high thermal stability, the material also displayed properties of fluorescence. In the process to refine the material, the team improved the polymer’s synthesis and started the task of finding a useful application for PPM.The team subjected PPM to various experiments to find that it is highly effective on metals, especially aluminum.
The recycling rate which is rated at 95 percent, makes it more sustainable than previous corrosion protection materials. The team was able to reuse the material five times. “There are really only two disposal solutions for epoxy resins: incineration or landfill. Our product allows for a third solution: recycling," said Marco D’Elia, a doctoral student and part of the research team.
Considering the size of the global market, the team sees a huge business opportunity with their product and has applied for a patent for their invention. Their immediate goal is to find an "industry partner to develop the product and to manufacture and distribute it on a large scale." “Our technology is pretty advanced, but before we can sell it as a product, there are still some improvements for us to make,” said D’Elia.
