Self-healing conductive composites have attracted tremendous interest in recent years due to their many important applications, especially in stretchable and reconfigurable electronics as self-healing electrodes. However, the conductivity of these conductive composite electrodes after healing is. The self-healing epoxy vinyl ester coating was formed by dissolving 1 wt% benzoyl peroxide (polymerization initiator) in the vinyl ester prepolymer (Ashland, Derakane 510A-40).
Inspired by the self-healing properties of soap films, scientists have created a liquid filter capable of trapping small particles while allowing larger ones to pass through. Instead of filtering particles by size, as conventional filters do, this liquid membrane filters particles by kinetic energy; only large, fast-moving objects pass through while slower and smaller ones get trapped. The membrane is a mixture of deionized water and sodium dodecyl sulfate, which allows researchers to finely tune the membrane's surface tension and, therefore, how the filter behaves. Unlike soap films, the membrane is quite long-lived and robust. The team poked one for more than 3 hours without rupturing it.

The researchers envision some pretty neat applications for these membranes, including a surgical membrane that would keep out dust and bacteria while doctors work or a membrane in a waterless toilet that could trap odors inside.
