Optically responsive supramolecular polymer glasses

Optically responsive supramolecular polymer glasses

The ability to heal whilst maintaining original functionality is important for establishing materials with superior longevity. Here, the authors demonstrate a supramolecular polymeric coating which exhibits excellent optical and mechanical properties, even following damage repair.
