The elastomers with the combination of high strength and toughness have always been intensively pursued due to their diverse applications. Biomedical applications frequently require biodegradability biocompatibility properties. It remains a great challenge prepare biodegradable extremely robust mechanical properties for in vivo use. In this report, we present polyurethane elastomer unprecedented application as hernia patches, which was obtained by solvent-free reaction polycaprolactone (PCL) isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)oxamide (BHO) chain extender. Abundant hierarchical hydrogen-bonding interactions inside hinder crystallization PCL segments facilitate formation uniformly distributed hard phase microdomains, miraculously realize fracture 92.2 MPa true stress 1.9 GPa, while maintaining elongation-at-break ≈1900% ultrahigh 480.2 MJ m-3 energy 322.2 kJ m-2 . Hernia patches made from via 3D printing technology exhibit outstanding properties, biocompatibility, biodegradability. demonstrate considerable potentials

Abstract High‐performance elastomers are expected to possess excellent healing and recycling ability, damage resistance in conjunction with high strength toughness. Herein, a dual dynamic crosslinking strategy is implemented by multiple hydrogen disulfide bonds obtain novel amorphous transparent polyurethane/nanocellulose elastomer self‐healing, self‐reinforcing toughening performance. First, introduced TEMPO‐oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TCNF) modification 2‐ureido‐4[1H]‐pyrimidone (UTCNF), while (SS) the polyurethane (PU) main chain, leading formation of cross‐linking networks. The PU‐SS‐UTCNF can fully self‐heal within 4.0 h at 50 °C. Surprisingly, for first time, also self‐strengthens self‐toughens after hot‐pressing, tensile toughness that increase up 401% 257% compared original samples, 50.0 MPa 132.5 MJ m ‐3 . self‐strength self‐toughening effects attributed 1) reconstruction networks degree during hot‐pressing processes; 2) system beneficial orientation highly crystallized UTCNF, as replacement stress‐induced process deformation under external force.

Polymers that integrate multiple functions into one system broaden the application range of materials, but it remains a great challenge to obtain polymer materials with simultaneously high strength, toughness, and self-healing rate. In this work, we prepared waterborne polyurethane (WPU) elastomers using Schiff bases containing disulfide acylhydrazone bonds (PD) as chain extenders. Acylhydrazone forming hydrogen bond not only acts physical cross-linking point, which promotes microphase separation increase thermal stability, tensile toughness elastomer, also serves "clip" various dynamic together synergistically reduce activation energy movement endow molecular faster fluidity. Therefore, WPU-PD exhibits excellent mechanical properties at room temperature, such strength fracture 25.91 MPa 121.66 kJ m-2, respectively, efficiency 93.7% in short time under moderate heating conditions. addition, photoluminescence property enables us track its process by monitoring change fluorescence intensity cracks, helps avoid accumulation cracks improve reliability elastomer. This has potential value optical anticounterfeiting, flexible electronics devices, functional automobile protective films, so on.

Abstract Self-healing and recyclable polymer materials are being developed through extensive investigations on noncovalent bond interactions. However, they typically exhibit inferior mechanical properties. Therefore, the present study is aimed at synthesizing a polyurethane–urea elastomer with excellent properties shape-memory-assisted self-healing behavior. In particular, introduction of coordination hydrogen bonds into leads to optimal exhibiting good (strength, 76.37 MPa; elongation break, 839.10%; toughness, 308.63 MJ m −3 ) owing phased energy dissipation mechanism involving various supramolecular The also demonstrates shape-memory properties, whereby shape recovery force that brings damaged surfaces closer facilitates self-healing. Surprisingly, all specimens exhibite clustering-triggered emission, cyan fluorescence observed under ultraviolet light. strategy reported herein for developing multifunctional can be leveraged yield stimulus-responsive polymers smart seals.

Elastomers have many industrial, medical and commercial applications, however, their huge demand raises an important question of how to dispose the out-of-service elastomers. Ideal elastomers that are concurrently tough, recyclable, degradable in urgent need, but preparation remains a rigorous challenge.

Owing presence dynamic coordination bond occurrence strain-induced crystallization, obtained exhibits high toughness ≈372 MJ m-3 unprecedented fracture energy ≈646 kJ m-2 , which much higher than natural rubber (≈50 for ≈10 energy). In addition, can be recycled at least three times using solvent without losing its mechanical properties degraded by lipase ≈2 months. Finally, biological experiments demonstrate possesses good biocompatibility facilitate wound healing mice when used as sutures. It believed meets requirements next-generation expected emerging fields such biomedicine, flexible electronics, robotics beyond.
