PG - 952-6 LID - 10.1002/marc.201600142 [doi] AB - Combining stretchability and self-healing properties in a man-made material is a challenging task. For an efficient self-healing material, weaker dynamic or reversible bonds should be presented as crosslinks so that they will first break upon damage and then reform after healing, which is not favorable when developing elastic materials. In this work, by incorporating dynamic Fe(III)-triazole coordination bonds into polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) backbone, a highly elastic polymer is obtained that can be thermally healed at mild temperature. The as-prepared polymer can be stretched to 3400% strain at low loading speed (1 mm min(-1) ). When damaged, the polymer can be thermally healed at 60 degrees C for 20 h with a healing efficiency of over 90%. The good mechanical and healable properties of this polymer can be ascribed to the unique coordination bond strength and coordination conformation of Fe(III)-triazole coordination complex.
