video: Video of vascular delivery of restorative materials to large damage volume in an epoxy sheet, overhead view, at 13x the actual speed. The restorative material begins as a liquid but quickly transitions to a gel, which creates a scaffold for the delivery of new restorative materials and eventual recovery of the entire damage region. Damage diameter 7.5 mm. This video is immediately after starting delivery of fluid streams. This image relates to a paper that appeared in May 9, 2014, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by Scott White at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign in Urbana, Ill., and colleagues was titled, "Restoration of Large Damage Volumes in Polymers." view more
