The polyurethanes (PU) are a very versatile family of materials mainly obtained by
combinations of polyols and polyisocyanates. Based on their annual worldwide production …

Bio-based materials are attracting more and more attention in all fields due to their improved
environmental footprint and due to the independence from petroleum resources that comes …

A biomimetic (titin protein molecular structure) strategy is reported for preparing transparent
and healable elastomers featuring supertoughness (345 MJ m− 3) and high tensile strength …

Despite lots of strategies involving extrinsic and intrinsic solutions to self-healing materials, it
remains a challenge to achieve a self-healable material with excellent mechanical …

The presence of unsaturation in the main chain of the polymer promotes the biodegradation
process. To elucidate this hypothesis, one unsaturated polyurethane (PUU) and another …

Sunlight‐triggered self‐healing of polymers has attractive advantages, but the same
illumination inevitably causes photoaging. The resulting properties deterioration and …

Developing multiphase polyurethanes (PUs) with loosely packed domains containing
dynamic linkages and appropriately crystallized soft phases composed of polycaprolactone …

The poor mechanical properties and disadvantages of catalysts limit the application of self-
healing materials. To address these issues, catalyst-free self-healing bio-based polymers …

It is exceedingly desired, but difficult to construct self-healing materials with both excellent
mechanical properties and healing efficiency, which are usually realized by using mutually …

Using green and renewable bio-based resources to realize multifunctional polymers is
