I could see this being used for self-repairing robotics, especially in the subfield of androids. It'd be so cool to watch an android that had gotten damaged or "hurt" heal itself!

Self-healing materials are artificial or synthetically-created substances that have the built-in ability to automatically repair damage to themselves without any external diagnosis of the problem or human intervention. Wikipedia
