This plastic polymer shares the same regenerative traits as human skin.
When cut in half, the plastic will naturally congeal after two hours at room temperature without an outside catalyst. The team even nicknamed the plastic Terminator after the T-1000 that heals itself in Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
Watch the video to see for yourself. After slicing the plastic, Odriozola placed the parts together and left the room. Within two hours, the plastic had gelled together; pulling it hard couldn't tear it in half again.

the video I posted is different from the video in the link but they basically show the same thing. But this is very interesting imo. I can think of all kinds of applications for this stuff.
if the plastic ever became self aware we are screwed
