Thermosets have many advantages such as excellent mechanical properties, dimensional
stability, and chemical and environmental resistance, but suffer from unsustainability …

Permanent polymer networks present an important sustainability challenge. Irreversible
covalent crosslinks impart these materials excellent mechanical properties, thermal and …

Flexible pressure and strain sensors have great potential for applications in wearable and
implantable devices, soft robots, and artificial skin. The introduction of self‐healing …

Polyurethane (PU) thermosets are usually landfilled at the end of their service lifetimes and
cannot be recycled through conventional means. Although dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL) is an …

Fascinating and challenging, the development of repairable materials with long-lasting,
sustainable and high-performance properties is a key-parameter to provide new advanced …

Natural rubber (NR) is one of Nature's most exceptional materials and is, therefore, widely
used by industry, in particular by the tire industry. In spite of the interest in recycling …

Despite offering robust mechanical properties, polymer networks suffer from a lack of
recyclability, resha**, and healability. Designing stiff and remendable polymer networks …

Dynamic materials, which include ionic polymeric materials, contain specific bonds or
interactions that can reversibly break and reform under certain stimuli or conditions. Among …

The current thermoremendable polyurethanes (PUs) based on reversible Diels–Alder (DA)
chemistry featuring both good mechanical properties and efficient macrodamage healability …

Intrinsic self-healing materials rely on a reversible bond formation after failure. In this study
we report hybrid materials that contain two intrinsic self-healing forces: The reversible …
