摘要：

Self-repairing processes in plants sealing fissures caused by natural growth processes (e.g. in the vine Aristolochia macrophylla) or by artificial injuries (e.g. in the common bean Phaseolus vulgaris) serve as concept generators for the development of a biomimetic coating for membranes of pneumatic structures based on the Tensairity (R) concept. First results with foam-based biomimetic self-repairing coatings for technical membranes are very promising. For lesions with nails of up to 5mm diameter, reductions of the air-leakage of two to three orders of magnitude could be achieved.
