    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for self-repairing an object, wherein the object (O) comprises a matrix of a material in a continuous solid form, with optically resonant particles dispersed there within, and that has been made by fusing together particles and/or particulates of the material in a non-continuous solid form with heat transferred from the optically resonant particles that has been generated thereby when optically resonating induced by their exposure to building electromagnetic radiation. The method comprises exposing a damaged region (D) of the object (O) to repairing electromagnetic radiation (R) to be absorbed by the optically resonant particles that are dispersed therein to optically resonate to generate heat to fuse together portions of the matrix in thermal contact therewith. The system is adapted to implement the method of the invention.
