Touch-Sensitive Plastic Skin Heals Itself. Science Daily. November 11, 2012.
A chemical engineering professor and her team at Stanford have succeeded in developing an artificial skin that combines the self-healing ability of a plastic polymer and the conductivity of a metal. The conductivity is crucial in order to interface with the digital world. The material they developed is sensitive enough to detect the pressure of a handshake making it ideal for use in prosthetics.
