This video from the American Chemical Society outlines research that could dramatically change automotive for the better. Researchers in Germany have created car tire rubber compounds that can re-attach bonds when broken, as with a puncture, within hours. They believe this can be narrowed down to minutes with more work. All while actually simplifying the tire rubber-making process.

That is Awesome research on rubber compounds, I hope they can improve it as they want.
I don,t think so, but everything is possible.Self-healing rubber seems to be a new concept.
I think we wil have this sort of tires in the future.
Self healing rubber is awesome idea.
Thanks for providing us your researched result. I think self-healing rubber will help us.
