Self-Healing Supramolecular Hydrogels Based on Reversible Physical Interactions

Self-Healing Supramolecular Hydrogels Based on Reversible Physical Interactions

Dynamic and reversible polymer networks capable of self-healing, i.e., restoring their mechanical properties after deformation and failure, are gaining increasing research interest, as there is a continuous need towards extending the lifetime and improving the safety and performance of materials par...
