Nanotechnology Now Home > Press > Youre so vein: Scientists discover faster way to manufacture vascular materials Synchronized manufacturing of a bioinspired structure with a hierarchical vascular network. CREDIT Mayank Garg, Nancy Sottos, Jeff Moore, and Phillipe Guebelle Abstract: Developing self-healing materials is nothing new for Nancy Sottos, lead of the Autonomous Materials Systems Group at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Cha...

Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology Drawing inspiration from biological circulatory systems — such as blood vessels or the leaves on a tree — University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers have worked on developing vascularized structural composites for more than a decade, creating materials that are lightweight and able to self-heal and self-cool. But now, a team of Beckman researchers led by Sottos and Mayank Garg, postdoctoral research associate and lead author of ...
