An unparalleled H-bonding and ion-bonding crosslinked waterborne polyurethane with super toughness and unprecedented fracture energy

). Due to the dynamic reconstruction of reversible H-bonds and ionic bonds, the WPU elastomer demonstrates a robust self-healability at 50 °C, allowing complete recovery of mechanical properties. Importantly, the thermoplasticity and reprocessability of WPUs enable direct 3D printing of different objects and electrospinning of tubes, showing great potential for expanding their application scope in soft robots and artificial stents.
