Nacre-mimetic composite with intrinsic self-healing and shape-programming capability

Incorporation of self-healing and shape programming capabilities into rigid, structural composite is highly desirable yet challenging. Here, the authors report a nacre-mimetic composite obtained by infiltrating a switchable Diels-Alder network polymer into a scaffold of alumina capable of self-heali...

Description
Summary:Incorporation of self-healing and shape programming capabilities into rigid, structural composite is highly desirable yet challenging. Here, the authors report a nacre-mimetic composite obtained by infiltrating a switchable Diels-Alder network polymer into a scaffold of alumina capable of self-healing internal damage.
