  • Chemical amplification in self-strengthening materials
    Patent number: 10377879
    Abstract: A self-strengthening material is provided, the material comprising a polymer matrix having a plurality of chemical amplifiers dispersed throughout the polymer matrix and a plurality of triggerable reservoirs, the triggerable reservoirs capable of releasing at least one activator of the plurality of chemical amplifiers, wherein the plurality of chemical amplifiers reacts with the at least one activator to produce additional activators capable of changing the mechanical properties of the polymer matrix, and thus strengthening the material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 18, 2017
    Date of Patent: August 13, 2019
    Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois
    Inventors: Paul V. Braun, Shuqi Lai, Ariane Vartanian
