All‐Around Universal and Photoelastic Self‐Healing Elastomer with High Toughness and Resilience (Adv. Sci. 24/2021)

Self-Healing Elastomers Soft electronics seek all-around high mechanical performance universal self-healing elastomers. In article number 2103235, Jarkko Tolvanen and co-workers report design strategy to achieve tough and resilient universal self-healing elastomer. The resilin-inspired bimodal siloxane-based elastomer benefits from combination of soft and hard phases. The cover displays existing phase-separated morphology during shape recovery captured by optical microscopy.
