Toughening self-healing elastomer crosslinked by metal–ligand coordination through mixed counter anion dynamics

Abstract Mechanically tough and self-healable polymeric materials have found widespread applications in a sustainable future. However, coherent strategies for mechanically tough self-healing polymers are still lacking due to a trade-off relationship between mechanical robustness and viscoelasticity....
