Abstract:
Self-healing refers to the ability to repair itself spontaneously upon mechanical damages. It is an important survival feature in nature because it increases the lifetime of most living creatures. The self-healing feature is highly desirable for electronics and energy storage devices, which suffer from mechanical failures and short lifetime. Here, we have successfully implanted self-healing capabilities into high-performance electronic skin, energy storage and actuators by using polymer material design.
