Thermodynamically stable whilst kinetically labile coordination bonds lead to strong and tough self-healing polymers

There is often a trade-off between mechanical properties (modulus and toughness) and dynamic self-healing in materials. Here the authors design and synthesize a polymer containing thermodynamically stable whilst kinetically labile coordination complexes to address this conundrum.
