MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541124949 A) filed by Anurag Engineering College, Suryapet, Telangana, on Dec. 10, 2025, for 'mart self-healing concrete system using embedded nano-capsule sensors.'
Inventor(s) include Mr A. Shiva Krishna; and Mr G. Narender.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention introduces a Mart Self-Healing Concrete System (MSHCS) designed to autonomously detect and repair micro-cracks within concrete structures through the integration of advanced nano-capsule sensor technology. The system incorporates multi-functional nano-capsules embedded directly into the concrete matrix, each containing a combination of healing agents and mechano-responsive shells engineered to rupture upon exposure to micro-level stress. When cracks begin to form, the mechanical strain activates the capsule shells, releasing self-healing compounds that undergo rapid chemical reactions to seal fissures and restore structural continuity. In parallel, embedded sensor nanoparticles enable real-time diagnostic feedback by altering their electrical or mechanical signatures in response to stress variations, allowing continuous monitoring of internal structural conditions.The MSHCS significantly enhances structural durability by preventing crack propagation at the earliest stages, thereby minimizing moisture ingress, corrosion, and long-term deterioration."
