Abstract
A seal-healing material that is used to form fuel tanks and other fuel containing items uses a pair of reagents disposed within multiple individual cells on either side of a polymer film with other polymer films forming the outer boundaries of each set of cells. The reagents, when mixed, chemically react to form a sealant. An elastomeric sheet is bound to each polymer film such that a fibrous material is disposed between each polymeric film and elastomeric film.
Claims5
A self-healing material comprising:
- a polymeric structure having a first outer surface and a second outer surface;
- a first reagent disposed within a series of first cells within the polymeric structure;
- and
- a second reagent disposed within a series of second cells within the polymeric structure such that the first cells and the second cells are separated from one another such that when the first reagent and the second reagent mix due to a perforation through some of the first cells and some of the second cells allowing the first reagent and the second reagent to mix, the first reagent and the second reagent chemically react forming a sealant.
