Self-Repairing Rubber Pavement

Nov-23-19 A self-regenerating rubber pavement made of tires will absorb rainwater and seal itself to heal gaps and potholes.

Winner of the James Dyson International Top 20 award, the self-generation pavement was developed by student Israel Antonio Briseño Carmona as a way to tackle two of Mexico’s problems—waste tires and heavily potholed roads. The pavement material is made up of a combination of additives and rubber tires, resulting in a putty that will produce calcium silicates when exposed to rainwater to fill in cracks before they can become larger.
