Autonomous regeneration
Damage events in structural composites can be regenerated
Life-time extension
The composite life-time is extended at least 3 times
Properties preservation
Mechanical and durability properties are preserved
Processing compatibility
Manufacturing is equivalent to benchmark composites
Non-invasive intervention
Healing is provided by a simple thermal trigger using a portable heat gun
Recycling
Improved end-of-life management
Our story of research on self-healing composites starts 12 years ago in the Laboratory for Processing of Advanced Composites (LPAC) at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland. After all these years of thorough research within the walls of this laboratory, the technology has been pushed further, giving birth to CompPair. We are now able to deliver the first efficient bio-inspired in-situ repair solution for extending the life-time of composite structures!
