Apr 01, 2025 The novel method produces multilayered self-healing films with enhanced durability compared to conventional materials for coatings and flexible electronics. (Nanowerk News) Polysiloxane materials, such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based elastomers, exhibit a self-healing capability by the introduction of silanolate (Si–O–) groups. This ability stems from their dynamic siloxane (Si–O–Si)...
