This material also works\n          in a similar way. While it does not require any kind of human\n          intervention to fix cracks or scratches on the surface, it still does\n          need some external input like UV light, heat or chemical treatment as\n          a catalyst.\n        </Typography>\n        <Typography variant=\"h2\" color=\"blue\">\n          What Are Self-Repairing Materials?\n        </Typography>\n        <Typography variant=\"body1\">\n          With research and development, chemical engineers at the Massachusetts\n          Institute of Technology have come up with new material that can\n          strengthen, grow, and also repair itself. It uses the carbon dioxide\n          from the atmosphere the same way plants do.\n        </Typography>\n        <Typography variant=\"body1\">\n          Before this, there was no other material that could mimic these\n          aspects of a live object, even though it’s not reproducing. Such\n          developments have taken the construction industry ahead for several\n          years.\n        </Typography>\n        <Typography variant=\"h3\">How Does It Look?</Typography>\n        <Typography variant=\"body1\">\n          Without any mixes or combinations, this material has a more gel-like\n          appearance. However, when implemented, it reacts with the carbon\n          dioxide in the air, changing its appearance. As per the theory, the\n          material can get prepared and transported as a lightweight gel.\n        </Typography>\n        <Typography variant=\"body1\">\n          Eventually, it will grow into its final form, which is more practical,\n          but a lot heavier as well. In short, they are easy to handle and\n          distribute in their original state. Only when they come into contact\n          with the atmosphere and sunlight is when it hardens and solidifies.\n        </Typography>\n        <Typography variant=\"body1\">\n          Hence it can save a lot of money and energy while being transported.\n          This approach is directly inspired by plants and can transform carbon\n          dioxide from the air to solid, with the help of only sunlight.\n        </Typography>\n        <Typography variant=\"h2\" color=\"blue\">\n          How Do I Use Self-Repairing Construction Materials?\n        </Typography>\n        <Typography variant=\"body1\">\n          Earlier, recurring roadway maintenance used to be a resource-heavy\n          task. It required a lot of extra time, labour and money. However, with\n          this new material, that is not the case anymore. In addition to saving\n          money and time, this material also has a number of environmental\n          benefits.\n        </Typography>\n        <Typography variant=\"body1\">\n          You can use this firm as an additive or coating, lending its\n          self-healing properties to the pre-existing material. This will help\n          increase the frequency of maintenance work while also enhancing the\n          durability of the structure.\n        </Typography>\n        <Typography variant=\"h3\">How Does It Help?</Typography>\n        <Typography variant=\"body1\">\n          The name self-healing material already explains its main advantages.\n          For starters, it improves logistic capabilities as it is light. Its\n          self-repairing capabilities also reduce the requirement for\n          construction maintenance. This way, it can help save money, time and\n          effort required.\n        </Typography>\n        <Typography variant=\"body1\">\n          However, that is not where the list ends. There are many other\n          environmental benefits that you can enjoy with this material. For one,\n          it actively helps remove carbon dioxide from the air.\n        </Typography>\n        <Typography variant=\"body1\">\n          In addition, its manufacturing does not require any use of fossil\n          fuels which makes it more eco-friendly and sustainable. It uses a\n          polymer of Aminopropyl Methacrylamide with glucose, chloroplast\n          derived from spinach leaves and glucose oxidase.\n        </Typography>\n        <Typography variant=\"h3\">\n          Why Is The Material Gaining Rapid Popularity?\n        </Typography>\n        <Typography variant=\"body1\">\n          The sheer usability and practicality of the material ensure that it\n          will have several positive implications in the construction business.\n          The scientists at MIT have found an alternate way to utilise the\n          abundant carbon available. Their main approach was to make a material\n          that is not just carbon neutral but carbon negative.\n        </Typography>\n        <Typography variant=\"body1\">\n          With this information, it is quite clear how this material will soon\n          rise in popularity. This will surely change the whole construction\n          industry. However, there are much more research and development going\n          on in building material in order to make them even better and more\n          useful.\n        </Typography>\n        <Typography variant=\"body1\">\n          As of now, the developed material takes self-healing properties to\n          another level. With only ambient light, it can capture carbon dioxide\n          and changes the gas into a solid form.\n        </Typography>\n      </NewsSectionBlock>\n    </>\n  )\n}\n\nexport default SelfEepairingConstructionMaterials\n","// extracted by mini-css-extract-plugin\nexport var section = \"news-module--section--g5uoe\";\nexport var maxContent = \"news-module--maxContent--mpYRW\";\nexport var content = \"news-module--content--v60SD\";\nexport var textTitle = \"news-module--textTitle--nitTa\";\nexport var textLists = \"news-module--textLists--IMoga\";\nexport var disc = \"news-module--disc--AqJ0s\";\nexport var auto = \"news-module--auto--u9wuf\";\nexport var decimal = \"news-module--decimal--+OTUr\";\nexport var check_mark = \"news-module--check_mark--P6DHG\";\nexport var imageBlock = \"news-module--imageBlock--TmnyQ\";\nexport var imageText = \"news-module--imageText--DgNcO\";\nexport var imageFullWidth = \"news-module--imageFullWidth--Rg4vs\";\nexport var imageEvent = \"news-module--imageEvent--y9m8O\";\nexport var imageClickable = \"news-module--imageClickable--wN1YK\";\nexport var imageClickable_bottom = \"news-module--imageClickable_bottom--6ol01\";\nexport var brandButtons = \"news-module--brandButtons--Alw1o\";\nexport var text = \"news-module--text--5E1Q6\";\nexport var video = \"news-module--video--6ohKO\";\nexport var videoSize = \"news-module--videoSize--WLsUN\";\nexport var authorWrapper = \"news-module--authorWrapper--pKcye\";\nexport var author = \"news-module--author--F1DUO\";\nexport var special_offer_image = \"news-module--special_offer_image--2F8hV\";\nexport var columnWrapper = \"news-module--columnWrapper--805HQ\";\nexport var boxShadow = \"news-module--boxShadow--zn30v\";\nexport var youtubeVideo = \"news-module--youtubeVideo---NENF\";\nexport var imageWrap = \"news-module--imageWrap--wN+Es\";\nexport var textWrap = \"news-module--textWrap--sagCF\";\nexport var textWrapCentered = \"news-module--textWrapCentered--Gc1WE\";\nexport var margin_top_48 = \"news-module--margin_top_48--icjNV\";\nexport var contentWrap = \"news-module--contentWrap--+JWDB\";\nexport var productLinksWrapper = \"news-module--productLinksWrapper--s8uye\";"],"names":["section","bg_white","bg_light","bg_dark","className","id","bgColor","children","cn","s","date","Section","Container","title","description","variant","color","S","src","alt","placeholder","textLists","decimal","check_mark","imageBlock","imageClickable","text","authorWrapper","columnWrapper","youtubeVideo","imageWrap","textWrap","textWrapCentered","margin_top_48","contentWrap","productLinksWrapper"],"sourceRoot":""}
