This amazing product would be available in the next five years.
Theself healing technologywas originally developed for aviation industry and it helps theairplane wings to self heal while in flight.
Professor Wass told Chris Green at theThe Independent: We took inspiration from the human body.
It seems, in some cases the team was able to achieve 100 percent recovery of mechanical strength.
It seems LOreal might use this technology and develop a self hearing nail varnish.
He added: Composite materials are increasingly used in modern airlines, military aircraft and wind turbines.
They are very stiff and strong but very light.
Our technology would enable you to maybe extend the maintenance schedule or use less material without compromising safety.
He said: We are talking about aeroplane wings here the most demanding utility because of the safety aspect.
You have to over-engineer.
We would literally break it, allow it to heal, break it again.
In some cases we were getting 100% recovery.
