Thermosets are polymeric materials that contain permanent networks and thus are difficult to
recycle. They are not reprocessable once cured and often do not degrade under mild …

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 …

Solid polymer electrolytes are considered a useful solution for improving the safety of lithium
metal batteries. However, these macromolecular systems show low ionic conductivity and …

Self-healing polymers and nanocomposites form an important class of responsive materials.
