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 ...

The self-organization of molecular components into hierarchically ordered nanostructures is an essential part for the development of new materials in emerging nanotechnologies and sustainable plastics ...

Researchers at Waseda University developed a more efficient method to create self-healing films using organosiloxane and polydimethylsiloxane layers. The process involves depositing a precursor ...
