Abstract:
A self-healing polymer is described herein, including a first carbon nanotube filled with at least a first healing agent, wherein the first carbon nanotube has first and second ends, wherein a first end cap is closed on the first end of the first carbon nanotube and a second end cap is closed on the second end of the first carbon nanotube, and a second carbon nanotube filled with at least a second healing agent, wherein the second carbon nanotube has first and second ends, wherein a first end cap is closed on the first end of the second carbon nanotube and a second end cap is closed on the second end of the second carbon nanotube.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for sealing cracks in an associated substrate using a self-healing polymer, the method comprising the steps of:\n filling at least a first carbon nanotube (FCN) with at least a first healing agent, wherein the at least a FCN has first and second ends; closing a first FCN end cap on the first end of the at least a FCN; closing a second FCN end cap on the second end of the at least a FCN; filling at least a second carbon nanotube (SCN) with at least a second healing agent, wherein the at least a SCN has first and second ends; closing a first SCN end cap on the first end of the at least a SCN; closing a second SCN end cap on the second end of the at least a SCN; and releasing the at least a first healing agent and the at least a second healing agent from the FCN and the SCN for filling cracks in the associated substrate, wherein the first FCN end cap, the second FCN end cap, the first SCN end cap, and the second SCN end cap are capable of being removed by hydrolysis.
