Bioinspired design of elastomeric vitrimers with sacrificial metal-ligand interactions leading to supramechanical robustness and retentive malleability

Most elastomeric vitrimers suffer from mechanical weakness in practical applications. Inspired by the development of strong and tough biomaterials relying on sacrificial bond-detachment mechanisms, herein we describe the biomimetic design of elastomeric vitrimers with mechanical robustness, preserva...
