Importing self-repair or self-healing features into inert materials is of great relevance to
material scientists, since it is expected to eliminate the necessity of replenishing a damaged …

Supramolecular materials, dynamic materials by nature, are defined as materials whose
components are bridged via reversible connections and undergo spontaneous and …

As polymers and polymeric materials are “the” smart invention and technological driving
force of the 20th century, the quest for self‐healing or self‐repairing polymers is strong. The …

An elastomeric, healable, supramolecular polymer blend comprising a chain-folding
polyimide and a telechelic polyurethane with pyrenyl end groups is compatibilized by …

This new edition of a bestseller incorporates recent developments and advances in
thermoplastics with regard to materials development, processing, properties, and …

Self-healing is a well-known phenomenon in nature: a broken bone merges after some time
and if skin is damaged, the wound will stop bleeding and heals again. This concept can be …

The surface properties and self‐adhesion mechanism of self‐healing poly (butyl
acrylate)(PBA) copolymers containing comonomers with 2‐ureido‐4 [1H]‐pyrimidinone …

Macromolecular self‐assembly (MSA) has been an active and fruitful research field since the
1980s, especially in this new century, which is promoted by the remarkable developments in …

Supramolecular polymers are formed through non-covalent, directional interactions between
monomeric building blocks. The assembly of these materials is reversible, which enables …

A linear-hyperbranched supramolecular amphiphile was synthesized through the
noncovalent coupling of adamantane-functionalized long alkyl chain (AD-C n, n= 12, 18, 30) …
