Self‐healing supramolecular hydrogels have emerged as a novel class of biomaterials that
combine hydrogels with supramolecular chemistry to develop highly functional biomaterials …

The development and characterization of self-healing synthetic polymeric materials have
been inspired by biological systems in which damage triggers an autonomic healing …

Synthetic materials that are capable of autonomous healing upon damage are being
developed at a rapid pace because of their many potential applications. Despite these …

The ability to pattern, structure, re-shape and actuate hydrogels is important for biomimetics,
soft robotics, cell scaffolding and biomaterials. Here we introduce an 'ionoprinting'technique …

Recently, polyampolytes have been discovered to form hydrogels that possess high
toughness, full resilience, and self-healing between two cut surfaces. The self-healing of this …

Transient network hydrogels cross-linked through histidine–divalent cation coordination
bonds were studied by conventional rheologic methods using histidine-modified star poly …

Stimuli-responsive (smart) hydrogels have attracted widespread attention as biomimetic
systems due to their ability to respond to subtle changes in external and internal stimuli …

Inspired by the unique and efficient wound healing processes in biological systems, several
approaches to develop synthetic polymers that can repair themselves with complete, or …

With the fossil resource exhausting and oil price rising, the development of substitutes for
petroleum-based polymers with bio-based polymers is becoming important. This review …

The self-healing phenomenon exhibited by the ionomer known as Surlyn 8940 (DuPont), a
partially neutralized poly (ethylene-co-methacrylic acid) random co-polymer, during high …
