DYNAMERS: dynamic polymers as self-healing materials

摘要: Importing self-repair or self-healing features into inert materials is of great relevance to material scientists, since it expected eliminate the necessity replenishing a damaged material. Be chemistry more specifically polymer chemistry, such have attracted imagination both scientists and chemists. A stroll down memory lane 70 years back, this might sounded utopian. However with current progress in supramolecular emergence dynamic covalent non-covalent chemistries, novel perspectives been opened up science towards development (DYNAMATS) particular polymers (DYNAMERS), ability produce species by custom made designs. Chemistry took giant strides gain control over structure and, besides basic progress, apply for tailor-making matter applications our daily life. In that applied perspective, plays paramount role shaping present contributing sustainable future. The goal develop materials, which would be enough carry out certain functions as effectively biological systems with, however, freedom recruit powers on wider scale, without limitation imposed Material chemists may build physics biology bridging gap presenting wide range functionalities convert dreams reality. review we will focus developments area polymers, class generally, undergo adaptation under effect physical and/or chemical agents, thus function adaptive ADAPTAMERS.
