  • Self-healing polymer materials for wire insulation, polyimides, flat surfaces, and inflatable structures
    Patent number: 10174198
    Abstract: Materials based on low melt polyimide, polyurea, or polyurethane chemistry have been developed which exhibit self-healing properties. These high performance polymers can be utilized either by themselves or in combination with microcapsule technology to deliver self-healing properties to electrical wire insulation or in other high performance, thin wall technologies such as inflatable structures.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 14, 2012
    Date of Patent: January 8, 2019
    Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Administrator of NASA
    Inventors: Scott T. Jolley, Martha K. Williams, Tracy L. Gibson, Trent M. Smith, Anne J. Caraccio, Wenyan Li
