A rigid and healable polymer cross-linked by weak but abundant Zn(II)-carboxylate interactions
Combining solid-like properties with fast self-healing is a great challenge due to slow diffusion dynamics. Here the authors demonstrate a rigid and healable material by using weak but abundant coordination bonds to crosslink a PDMS polymer.
