Article Synopsis
- A new method for creating self-healing polymers was developed, using dynamic imine and metal-coordinating bonds to achieve high stretchability and controlled degradability.
- These polymers can stretch up to 800% and regain 88% of their mechanical strength after damage due to their unique chemical bonding system.
- The materials were successfully applied in self-healable electronics, specifically a capacitive pressure sensor that maintained sensitivity and performance even after healing.
