Melik Demirel's group at Pennsylvania State University has been developing self-healing polymers based on proteins found in squid teeth. Specifically, the researchers have demonstrated the polymer self-heals following cleavage through a combination of warm water and mechanical pressure. As self-h...

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara developed a highly branched "bottlebrush" elastomer that can be 3D printed by extrusion followed by photocuring. The formulation and the final structure include no water or solvent, and the resulting polymer can stretch 300% to 400%. This elongation is several times ... Not part of subscription
