Polymers are extensively exploited as active materials in a variety of electronics and energy
devices because of their tailorable electrical properties, mechanical flexibility, facile …

Self-healing is the capability of a material to recover from physical damage. Both physical
and chemical approaches have been used to construct self-healing polymers. These include …

Self-healing polymeric hydrogels with high mechanical strength, excellent resilience and
anti-freezing properties are fabricated for application as ionic skins with excellent and …

Supramolecular polymer networks are materials crosslinked by reversible supramolecular
interactions, such as hydrogen bonding or electrostatic interactions. Supramolecular …

The material would inevitably suffer a series of damages in operation, including cracks,
piercing and delamination, which would lead to a degradation of performance and even …

In this work, self‐healing polyampholyte hydrogels with high mechanical strength in
megapascal order, good resilience, improved toughness, and satisfactory conductivity are …

The concept of self-healing synthetic materials emerged a couple of decades ago and
continues to attract scientific community. Driven primarily by an opportunity to develop life …

Chemistry, pure and applied, is a science and an industry. By its power over the expressions
of matter, it also displays the creativity of art. It has expanded from molecular to …

It is challenging to fabricate degradable poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA)‐based plastics that can be
used in watery environments because PVA is soluble in water. In this study, PVA‐based …

Self-healing polymer composites possess the inherent ability to heal the damage event
autonomically or non-autonomically with external intervention. These advanced materials …
