Multifunctional damage responsive polymeric fiber

A multifunctional-damage responsive biofiber comprising:

• a core comprising a polymeric fiber comprising one or more polymers selected from the group consisting of polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl alcohol, polyamides, aramid, polyacrylonitrile, cellulose, polyurethane, and combinations thereof;
• a crosslinked endospore loaded hydrogel layer coating the core, wherein the hydrogel layer is formed with:
• a solution comprising endospores and one or more anionic polymers selected from the group consisting of polysaccharides, hyaluronic acid, colominic acid, polysalic acid, chondroitin, queratane, dextrans, heparin, carrageenan, furcelerans, alginates, agar agar, glucomannan, gums, pectins, cellulose, starches, sorbitan esters, and combinations thereof, and
• one or more crosslinking agents;
• and
• a (co)polymer shell encapsulating the hydrogel layer, wherein the shell has one or more layers which may be the same or different, and each of the one or more layers is formed with a (co)polymer selected from the group consisting of nitrocellulose (NITR), epoxy Resin (ER), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), cyanoacrylate adhesive (CYA), polystyrene (PS), polylactic acid (PLA), and combinations thereof.
