Molecular anisotropy and rearrangement as mechanisms of toughness and extensibility in entangled physical gels

Dynamic networks formed by physically crosslinked, entangled polymers have emerged as self-healing, stretchable, and functional materials. Entangled associative gels with remarkable toughness and extensibility have been produced by several distinct chemical approaches, suggesting that these enhanced...
