Zusammenfassung:Inspired by damage repair in biological systems, S. R. White and team demonstrate a novel self‐healing system in a non‐living commercial biomaterial on page 202. This self‐healing acrylic bone cement is enabled by solvent‐filled microcapsules, which heal crack damage and restore up to 80% of the initial fracture toughness of the cement. This innovation has major implications for extending the lifetime of orthopedic joint replacements.
