Re: Self-healing wetsuits? In the news - new material.

I was reading about that stuff.....very cool. Thinking that maybe it could be used for bands? The "rubber" is held together using chemical hydrogen bonds, this is what allows it to self heal. Unfortunately this also means the bonds are weak....so using it for bands is out. Also...perhaps it would be too weak for wet suits...I'm not sure. I thought it would be really great for use as gaskets and washers for scuba tanks, garden hoses, etc... If they could make it stronger that would be great though.
