The work was carried out under the supervision of Ilhan Aksay (Princeton University, Chemical Engineering Department). Using the atomic force microscope (AFM), Hannes Schniepp first revealed that detergent molecules self-assembly into cylinders with a diameter of as little as 5\_nm (10,000 times thinner than a human hair). Then, he revealed that these cylinders cylinder can self-heal in a small fraction of a second, if destroyed. Full self-healing was observed within a few thousandths of one second; perhaps it even occurs much quicker than that. The paper was originally published in the prestigious journal **Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS)** in 2006: //[[:public:publications:pub-06|"Self-Healing of Surfactant Surface Micelles on Millisecond Time Scales"]]//. \\ ===== Links ===== * **Publisher's web page of article** (subscription required): \\ [[http://www.nature.com/nmat/journal/v5/n10/full/nmat1753.html]] * **[[:public:publications:pub-05|Our publication in JACS]]** ===== Download Options ===== * **{{:public:news:blog:2006-10_surfactant_self-healing:2006-10_natmat_feature_1920.jpg?linkonly|JPEG (1,920 × 2,524 pixels) — 1.2 MB}}** * **{{public:news:blog:2006-2009:2006-10_natmat_feature.pdf|PDF — 0.2 MB}}** ===== Our Related Publications ===== {|class="TableSimpleWide" |- |[[:public:publications:pub-27|[27]]] | **Biomacromolecules (2015)** — Koebley, Greving, Vollrath & Schniepp* \\ //[[:public:publications:pub-27|"Silk Reconstitution Disrupts Fibroin Self-Assembly"]]// | [[:public:publications:pub-27|{{public:thumbs:thum_rsf-model.jpg}}]] |- |[[:public:publications:pub-22|[22]]] | **J.
