Sapatos de segurança auto-reparáveis lançados: Nanomateriais podem reparar automaticamente solas desgastadas

A Swiss research team has teamed up with a safety shoe brand to launch the world’s first self-healing safety shoe. A sola é infundida com polímeros nano especiais, and when wear or cracks are detected, the material can automatically repair within 24 hours, extending its service life by more than 30%.

This technology has been tested in the laboratory and is expected to be mass-produced by 2026, with a target price of $200 per pair, or disrupting the traditional replacement cycle.
