Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) based on multiblock copolymers are an important class of engineering polymers. They are widely used in many applications where flexibility and durability are required and are seen as a sustainable (recyclable) alternative to thermoset rubbers. While their high-temperature mechanical behavior has received recent interest, few studies have explored their fracture and fatigue behavior.

- Scientists created a special device called an intestine-on-chip to study how our intestines work and react to different things in a human-like way.
- *This device helps make the cells in our intestines grow and change more quickly and creates a better environment for studying them.
- *It is a cheap and easy tool that lets researchers see how gut cells behave, including their ability to make mucus and protect themselves after being treated with certain nutrients.
