Achieving a desirable combination of solid-like properties and fast self-healing is a great
challenge due to slow diffusion dynamics. In this work, we describe a design concept that …

There is often a trade-off between mechanical properties (modulus and toughness) and
dynamic self-healing. Here we report the design and synthesis of a polymer containing …

Combining stretchability and self‐healing properties in a man‐made material is a
challenging task. For an efficient self‐healing material, weaker dynamic or reversible bonds …

Coordination bonds are effective for constructing highly efficient self-healing materials as
their strength is highly tunable. To design self-healing polymers with better performance, it is …

The development of polymeric materials with a combination of excellent mechanical
performance and room-temperature self-healing property is still a huge challenge. Here, we …

A new self-healing multiphase polymer is developed in which a pervasive network of
dynamic metal–ligand (zinc–imidazole) interactions are programmed in the soft matrix of a …

Self‐healing ability is an important survival feature in nature, with which living beings can
spontaneously repair damage when wounded. Inspired by nature, people have designed …

Shape-memory and self-healing polymers have been a hotspot of research in the field of
smart polymers in the past decade. Under external stimulation, shape-memory and self …

bond to crosslink the poly (dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS) chain into 3D networks. The as …

Polymeric materials play critical role in many current technologies. Among them, adaptive
polymeric materials with dynamic (reversible) bonds exhibit unique properties and provide …
