Construction of Self-Healing Disulfide-Linked Silicone Elastomers by Thiol Oxidation Coupling Reaction

Developing self-healing silicone elastomers are highly significant because of their promising applications. Herein, we present novel self-healing disulfide-linked silicone elastomers (SEs) based on thiol-terminated sulfur-containing heterochain polysiloxanes (P-SHs) and three thiol-containing crossl...
