Self-repairing materials are closer than ever before

The waving carbon layer can be the first self-repairing material. The idea is that when the material is intact. It will be stiff. When the bite of that carbon layer is missing material is waving. That waving movement will make it possible that the bites of that material are finding themselves again. The structure can form fullerene molecules. 

And there is possible to connect those fullerene molecules by using the electromagnetic interaction. The fullerene molecules can load electricity. If every second of them is loaded with electricity the static load will pull the material together. There is also possible to put iron atoms or molecules to fullerene and magnetize those things. 

But the self-repairing materials and structures are researched for a long time.

The self-repairing structures and the self-building racks are possible to create. The system connects itself to one form automatically. It will look like a group of steel snakes or giant spanners. Each of those bites knows its place in its entirety. Then the other types of robots which form is like the caterpillar track will go in the structure. And then those robots act like the walking layers on the self-assembling rack. 

There is made researches on nanotubes that are normally laying as the layer. At the end of some nanotubes is the magnetic system that rises those nanotubes to 3D-box looking structure. That kind of thing can use in intelligent bullet-proof vests and intelligent armors. When the bullet touches the most out layer the magnets will pull those nanotubes to cell structure where are multiple layers of small boxes. That will pull kinetic energy to itself. 

There is the possibility to make layers that are repairing themselves. The systems that can make that thing might be like the combination of Legos and microchips. Every each of those bites knows its position in its entirety. In that kind of structure, the system is a small robot that is moving in its position automatically. But when we are thinking about nanotechnology and self-repairing materials. That might be elastic we are facing one thing. 

The nanotubes can equip with teeth that are touching together. That makes them act like some sea worms. And those robots can create large structures together. Those robot worms can also repair one member of the entirety if that thing is damaged. 

The needed technology is like small cables that are like velcro tapes. Those structures would move like snakes or millipedes. Every foot of those tiny robots is a manipulator that touches each other. 

The head and sides of those small wires would be strings that are turning into loops and hooks. Then those strings are touching each other they would connect themselves like velcros. Then if those structures are separated they would need to find themselves. And then the system will stabilize the connection. 

If one of those robots is damaged. The production unit will make the new robot. The thing that makes the new robot find its place is quite easy. The remaining robots are sending their ID code to the store or production unit and then the unit knows where the new robot should go. The thing is that the new types of technology might be even more fundamental like this.

New carbon fibers allow making the protective suits, what is so comfortable as normal clothes.

Nanotechnology allows making more flexible carbon layers than ever before. And that allows producing active-carbon filters, what is feeling like normal clothes. This kind of filter-clothes can protect the user against many chemicals including VX, but they are breathing, that means those clothes would pass the air would go thru those layers, and use of those clothes is more comfortable than traditional protective suits. Those carbon suits are also immune for all chemicals what would normally pass the rubber, and that nanotechnological suit has one very good advantage in comparison with rubber suits.


They can dress up like normal overalls and they can use like every other clothes, but there is one big difference, that active carbon material protects against chemicals, and if gas mask protects the person against some chemical, would the active carbon protect also the man against some of the most poisonous chemicals. And the same technology could be used in protective tents, what mission is to protect the crew against chemical weapons. Those tents can be put in the hangars, and if the airfield would be protected against chemical weapons.


But this kind of constructions can also be used for civilian purposes. When the rescue crews are working in some area, there are lots of ruins or erupting volcanoes. That carbon material canvas can also be used for isolation the persons, who are infected by some organisms, what are using epidemic. In those protective materials is one little thing, what we must remember. There must be only carbon material, and there must not be plastic or rubber, because those materials allow the chemicals like organophosphates transferring to the body.


That can protect people against chemical weapons. But the light suit can be modular, and another suit, what is equipped with the gold leaf, can easily wear over that chemical protective suit. In the bottom of that suit could be Mylar-layer, what protects the gold against damages. That kind of suit protects the person against radio-active materials. The gold leaf can be installed between two layers of canvas, what allows to carry metal parts with it because otherwise, the gold can make other metals rusty because of the electrochemical reaction. This gold leaf suit would not let gases go thru it, and that will protect the user against ionized Helium, what is called an "Alpha-ray". Actually, the Mylar would give enough protection against helium, but the gold is needed for protection against electromagnetic radiation.


Ionized Helium would fly thru the active carbon filter, and that's why the personnel, who works with the highly radioactive material must use similar breath equipment as scuba divers. In those cases, the ionized gas would not go to the lugs of the operator. And the gold layer would protect the skin against the other radiation. That suit can be made by normal cotton or it can be used with the similar suit, what firemen use because that would give protection against the heat. And the gold is installed in the middle of two Mylar-layers, what protects it against damages.
