Counterfeiting and inverse engineering of security and confidential documents, such as
banknotes, passports, national cards, certificates, and valuable products, has significantly …

Mechanochemistry provides a unique approach to investigate macroscopic deformation,
failure and healing of polymer materials. The development of mechanophores–molecular …

Addressing the conflict between achieving high mechanical properties and room-
temperature self-healing ability is extremely significant to achieving a breakthrough in the …

Self‐healing ability is an important survival feature in nature, with which living beings can
spontaneously repair damage when wounded. Inspired by nature, people have designed …

Develo** autonomous self-healing materials for applications in harsh conditions is
challenging because the reconstruction of interaction in material for self-healing will …

Recent years have witnessed tremendous progress and developments of the
photoswitchable spiropyran-based polymers, owing to distinctive and particular …

Ever since the emergence of polymers, there has been interest in the production of “self-
healing” materials. Over the last decade this dream has become closer to reality with the …

Dynamic bonds introduce unique properties such as self‐healing, recyclability, shape
memory, and malleability to polymers. Significant efforts have been made to synthesize a …

A new self-healing multiphase polymer is developed in which a pervasive network of
dynamic metal–ligand (zinc–imidazole) interactions are programmed in the soft matrix of a …

Light-responsive polymers, especially photochromic ones, are among the most interesting
classes of stimuli-responsive materials. Photochromic polymers can show different stimuli …
