New coating that self mend under brief exposures to ultraviolet light

Scientists have unveiled a new kind of coating that can mend its own scratches under brief exposures to ultraviolet (UV) light. A team of researchers in the United States and Switzerland has developeed a polymer-based material called "metallo-supramolecular polymers," capable of becoming a supple liquid that fills crevasses and gaps left by scrapes and scuffs when placed under ultraviolet light for less than a minute and then resolidifying.
