A gas-plastic elastomer that quickly self-heals damage with the aid of CO2 gas

Usually self-healing materials require heat or light as a stimulus which can limit their application. Here the authors show an elastomer with an ionically crosslinked silicone network that quickly self-heals damage in the presence of CO2 gas at standard pressures and room temperature.
