MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641041815 A) filed by Dr. A. Senthamilselvi; Devarshi Dutta; Dr. J. Venkateswara Rao; Dr. Kanade Ashok Tukaram; Dr. Asif M. Qureshi; Dr. S. Vijaya Bhaskar; Sanjay Ashok Pawar; Murali V; G Praveen; and Kommalapati Prasanthi, Bengaluru, Karnataka, on April 1, for 'self-healing material for durable mechanical structural components.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. A. Senthamilselvi; Devarshi Dutta; Dr. J. Venkateswara Rao; Dr. Kanade Ashok Tukaram; Dr. Asif M. Qureshi; Dr. S. Vijaya Bhaskar; Sanjay Ashok Pawar; Murali V; G Praveen; and Kommalapati Prasanthi.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a self-healing material designed for enhancing the durability and reliability of mechanical structural components. The material comprises a structural matrix integrated with a healing subsystem including microencapsulated healing agents, vascular networks, or reversible polymer systems capable of autonomously repairing damage such as microcracks and fractures. Upon damage, the healing subsystem is activated to release, transport, or reform material within the affected region, thereby restoring structural integrity and preventing further crack propagation. The system may further incorporate sensing elements for real-time damage detection and controlled healing activation. The material supports multiple healing cycles while maintaining mechanical strength and compatibility with conventional manufacturing processes, making it suitable for applications in aerospace, automotive, civil infrastructure, and industrial systems."
