Glassy polymers are extremely difficult to self-heal below their glass transition temperature
(T g) due to the frozen molecules. Here, we fabricate a series of randomly hyperbranched …

The influences of nanosilica and modified nanosilica on cure, compression set, mechanical
and swelling characteristics are studied in blends of ethylene-propylene-diene monomer …

Loose connective tissue that widely exists in the human body is very tough and healable,
due to the unique network formed by hyperbranched and linear fibers. Inspired by such …
