Results for tag: "Self Healing Concrete"

Self-healing concrete is a type of advanced material that is designed to repair itself when damaged. It is made with a combination of concrete and a special type of bacteria that can detect and repair cracks in the material. The bacteria is activated when water enters the cracks, and it produces a mineral that seals the cracks and prevents further damage. This type of concrete has been used in a variety of applications, including bridges, roads, and buildings. Self-healing concrete has several advantages over traditional concrete, including increased durability, improved safety, and reduced maintenance costs. It is also more environmentally friendly, as it reduces the need for repairs and the amount of waste generated. The self-healing concrete market is growing rapidly, driven by increasing demand for advanced materials and the need for more sustainable construction materials. Companies in the market include Concrete Heal, BioConcrete, and Self-Healing Concrete Technologies. Show Less Read more
