Smart materials help heal wounds
EU-backed scientists show us how smart materials called magnetoactive polymers (MAPs) could someday be used to stimulate healing in epithelial wounds. MAPs change their mechanical properties in response to their surroundings. A revolutionary development in the fields of solid mechanics and materials science, these materials consist of a polymeric matrix (an elastomer) with miniscule magnetic […]
