Incredible. Now if they could just make it easy to crumble and dissolvable at the first hint of water that would be a hell of a thing. Bendableoncrete? Incredible.

The biggest problems are cost and construction method. I'm very skeptical of the material properties of the "repaired" concrete and think that repeated loading by the environment might be a huge problem. Sealed cracks, although better than unsealed cracks, are still imperfections in the material. Advanced concrete materials mixes are highly sensitive and usually can not be made with local ingredients and may require highly specialized and expensive curing and pouring methods. I wouldn't count on seeing these materials in very many "everyday" applications anytime soon. There are a lot of really novel concrete products out there.
