Mexican Student Develops New Form of Rubber Road Pavement That Repairs Itself

Why wasn't this developed in the States? Is it because USA companies are trying to protect the concrete and asphalt business? Will this joker be killed or bought out?


Mexican Student Develops New Form of Rubber Road Pavement That Repairs Itself When Exposed to Rainwater

A Mexican college student has created a new formula for road pavement that repairs itself when exposed to rainwater.

Israel Antonio Briseño Carmona developed the groundbreaking formula by melting recycled tires into a putty combined with a number of other additives. The putty then harnesses rainwater as a catalyst for regeneration so that—instead of building roads that slowly crumbling away as they are exposed to inclement weather—the water spurs the road mixture to form calcium silicates that repairs itself.

Carmona, who is a student at Coahuila Autonomous University, says that he was inspired to develop the formula as a means of addressing Mexico's notoriously deteriorated roads.

"Damage is caused by rain filtering to the base of pavements, weakening it and creating subsidence," says Carmona. "This is how the idea [for] turning the greatest degradation agent into a recovery agent was born.

"At present, there are already pavements that regenerate—but none use water as a means of regeneration … much less made of tires," he added.

Carmona's ingenious road recipe won him the top national James Dyson Award of 2019 last month.

He now plans to get the formula approved for use in Mexico so he can begin brewing the asphalt through his own construction company.

Politics is everywhere,even if someone found medicine for AIDS (many claimed that they did) still its not used or accepted as a medicine to cure,why is this happening?

If we cured or found a permanent solution the business will stop there,so yeah big companies might trying to hide this out with money.

as well as the Cancer,it was being spread as no cure sickness to favor the doctors desire to gain more money but the truth is there is no such thing as Cancer.

but you are absolutely correct that its politics that hinders everything to be popularized ,because there are tons of lobbyist from businessman to not allow those inventors or developers to release their works so business will coninue.

i really hate politics in more ways.
