Cyclodextrin Nano-Assemblies Enabled Robust,Highly Stretchable,and Healable Elastomers with Dynamic Physical Network

Artificial materials with biomimic self-healing ability are fascinating, however, the balance between mechanical properties and self-healing performance is always a challenge. Here, a robust, highly stretchable self-healing elastomer with dynamic reversible multi-networks based on polyurethane matrix and cyclodextrin-assembled nanosheets is proposed. The introduction of cyclodextrin nano-assemblies with abundant surface hydroxyl groups not only forms multiple interfacial hydrogen bonding but also enables a strain-induced reversible crystalline physical network owing to the special nanoconfined effect. The formation and dissociation of a dynamic crystalline physical network under stretching–releasing cycles skillfully balance the contradiction between mechanical robustness and self-healing ability. The resulting nanocomposites exhibit ultra-robust tensile strength (40.5 MPa), super toughness (274.7 MJ m⁻³), high stretchability (1696%), and desired healing efficiency (95.5%), which can lift a weight ≈ 100 000 times their own weight. This study provides a new approach to the development of mechanically robust self-healing materials for engineering applications such as artificial muscles and healable robots.     

Self-Healing,Robust, and Stretchable Electrode by Direct Printing on Dynamic Polyurea Surface at Slightly Elevated Temperature

Printed electronics on elastomer substrates have found wide applications in wearable devices and soft robotics. For everyday usage, additional requirements exist for the robustness of the printed flexible electrodes, such as the ability to resist scratching and damage. Therefore, highly robust electrodes with self-healing, and good mechanical strength and stretchability are highly required and challenging. In this paper, a cross-linking polyurea using polydimethylsiloxane as the soft segment and dynamic urea bonds is prepared and serves as a self-healing elastomer substrate for coating and printing of silver nanowires (AgNWs). Due to the dynamic exchangeable urea bond at 60 °C, the elastomer exhibits dynamic exchange of the cross-linking network while retaining the macroscopic shape. As a result, the AgNWs are partially embedded in the surface of the elastomer substrate when coated or printed at 60 °C, forming strong interfacial adhesion. As a result, the obtained stretchable electrode exhibits high mechanical strength and stretchability, the ability to resist scratching and sonication, and self-healing. This strategy can be applied to a variety of different conducting electrode materials including AgNWs, silver particles, and liquid metal, which provides a new way to prepare robust and self-healing printed electronics.     

Printing-Induced Alignment Network Design of Polymer Matrix for Stretchable Perovskite Solar Cells with Over 20% Efficiency

Polymer matrix is felicitously applied into the active layer and transporting layer of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) to enable a stretchable function. However, the chaotic deposition of polymer chains is the main cause for the inferior photoelectric performance. When the stretchable PSCs are in a working state, the stress cannot be removed effectively due to the random polymer chain deposition. The stress accumulation will cause irreversible damage to the stretchable PSCs. Herein, the structural bionics and patterned-meniscus coating technology are combined to print the polymer chain-oriented deposition in the stretchable PSCs. Based on this approach, the conducting polymer electrode is printed with both significant mechanical stability and conductivity. More importantly, the oriented polyurethane with self-healing property can enhance the crystal quality of perovskite films and repair perovskite cracks caused by stress destruction. Thus, the corresponding stretchable PSCs achieve a stabilized power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 20.04% (1.0 cm²) and 16.47% (9 cm²) with minor efficiency discrepancy. Notably, the stretchable PSCs can maintain 86% of the primitive PCE after 1000 cycles of bending with a stretch ratio of 30%. This directional growth of polymer chain strategy provides guidance for printing prominent-performance stretchable PSCs.     

Block Copolymer-Based Supramolecular Ionogels for Accurate On-Skin Motion Monitoring

Interest in wearable and stretchable on-skin motion sensors has grown rapidly in recent years. To expand their applicability, the sensing element must accurately detect external stimuli; however, weak adhesiveness of the sensor to a target object has been a major challenge in developing such practical and versatile devices. In this study, freestanding, stretchable, and self-adhesive ionogel conductors are demonstrated which are composed of an associating polymer network and ionic liquid that enable conformal contact between the sensor and skin even during dynamic movement. The network of ionogel is formed by noncovalent association of two diblock copolymers, where phase-separated micellar clusters are interconnected via hydrogen bonds between corona blocks. The resulting ionogels exhibit superior adhesive characteristics, including a very high lift-off force of 93.3 N m⁻¹, as well as excellent elasticity (strain at break ≈ 720%), toughness ( ≈ 2479 kJ m⁻³), thermal stability ( ≈ 150  ° C), and high ionic conductivity ( ≈ 17.8 mS cm⁻¹ at 150  ° C). These adhesive ionogels are successfully applied to stretchable on-skin strain sensors as sensing elements. The resulting devices accurately monitor the movement of body parts such as the wrist, finger, ankle, and neck while maintaining intimate contact with the skin, which was not previously possible with conventional non-adhesive ionogels.     

Photo-Patternable Stretchable Semi-Interpenetrating Polymer Semiconductor Network Using Thiol–Ene Chemistry for Field-Effect Transistors

Stretchable polymer semiconductors are an essential component for skin-inspired electronics. However, the lack of scalable patterning capability of stretchable polymer semiconductors limits the development of stretchable electronics. To address this issue, photo-curable stretchable polymer blends consisting of a high-mobility donor–acceptor conjugated polymer and an elastic rubber through thiol–ene chemistry are developed. The thiol–ene reaction can selectively cross-link the rubber with alkene or vinyl groups without damaging the electronic properties of the conjugated polymer. The conjugated polymer chains embedded in the elastic polymer matrix induce a semi-interpenetrating polymer network (SIPN). The thiol–ene-cross-linked network provides great solvent resistance and enhances stretchability for the embedded conjugated polymer. The well-defined patterned film with a feature size of ≈10 µm can be obtained using UV light at 365 nm through conventional photolithography processes. Furthermore, the SIPN-based transistors show increased mobilities from 0.61 to 1.18 cm² V⁻¹ s⁻¹ when applying the strain from 0% to 100%. Moreover, the hole mobility can still maintain at 0.87 cm² V⁻¹ s⁻¹ after 1000 strain-and-release cycles at the strain of 25%. This study sheds light on the molecular design of photo-curable polymer semiconductors for the mass production of stretchable circuits.     

Rugged Soft Robots using Tough,Stretchable, and Self-Healable Adhesive Elastomers

Soft robots are susceptible to premature failure from physical damages incurred within dynamic environments. To address this, we report an elastomer with high toughness, room temperature self-healing, and strong adhesiveness, allowing both prevention of damages and recovery for soft robotics. By functionalizing polyurethane with hierarchical hydrogen bonds from ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidinone (UPy) and carboxyl groups, high toughness (74.85 MJ m⁻³), tensile strength (9.44 MPa), and strain (2340%) can be achieved. Furthermore, solvent-assisted self-healing at room temperature enables retention of high toughness (41.74 MJ m⁻³), tensile strength (5.57 MPa), and strain (1865%) within only 12 h. The elastomer possesses a high dielectric constant (≈9) that favors its utilization as a self-healing dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) for soft robotics. Displaying high area strains of ≈31.4% and ≈19.3% after mechanical and electrical self-healing, respectively, the best performing self-healable DEA is achieved. With abundant hydrogen bonds, high adhesive strength without additional curing or heating is also realized. Having both actuation and adhesive properties, a “stick-on” strategy for the assembly of robust soft robots is realized, allowing soft robotic components to be easily reassembled or replaced upon severe damage. This study highlights the potential of soft robots with extreme ruggedness for different operating conditions.     

Tough,Bio-disintegrable and Stretchable Substrate Reinforced with Nanofibers for Transient Wearable Electronics

Research on transient wearable electronics with stretchable components is of increasing interest because of their abilities to conform seamlessly to human tissues and, more interestingly, disappear from the environment when disposed. To wear them comfortably, their component materials must be pliable, tough, stretchable, biocompatible, and disintegrable. However, most biodegradable materials are not stretchable or tough, limiting their use in transient wearable electronics. Herein, these challenges are addressed by demonstrating a biodegradable nanofiber (NF)-reinforced water-borne polyurethane (NFR-WPU) with stretchability, toughness, and partial biodegradability by embedding biodegradable composite NFs of poly(glycerol sebacate): poly(vinyl alcohol) (PGS:PVA) into the WPU matrix, thus rendering its properties tunable. An optimal loading amount of NFs into the NFR-WPU significantly enhanced the toughness by 19 times while maintaining the Young's modulus as low as 3.3 MPa. Furthermore, the NFR-WPU substrate has very high fracture toughness and shows excellent biocompatibility. Moreover, the NFR-WPU has a disintegration rate nine times greater than that of pristine WPU. Finally, disintegrable and stretchable triboelectric and capacitive touch sensors on the NFR-WPU are fabricated and demonstrated for potential use in transient wearable electronics.     

Evaporation-Induced Closely-Packing of Core–Shell PDMS@Ag Microspheres Enabled Stretchable Conductor with Ultra-High Conductance

Stretchable conductors are indispensable building blocks for stretchable electronic devices that are used in next-generation wearable electronics, on-skin electronics, and soft robotics. Whereas, the ability to realize synergy high conductance and sufficient conductivity under high strain remains challenging. Herein, a stretchable conductor made from tightly assembled core–shell polydimethylsiloxane@silver microspheres (PDMS@Ag MPs) is elaborated. By judiciously using evaporation-induced capillary effect, 3D interconnected conductive paths consisting of closely packed conductive PDMS@Ag MPs are constructed inside the elastic matrix. The spatially selective distributed Ag-shell enables conductor metallic conductivity (67185 S cm⁻¹) at ultralow Ag fraction (19.5 wt.%), and well-maintained conductance over wide strain (820 S cm⁻¹ at 400%). Due to the suppressed Ag content, both the rapture strain and Young's modulus (613%, 0.79 MPa for CPSC4) of the conductor are largely retained. Besides, the synergy hierarchical surface topology and low surface energy endow conductors with high water-repellent properties. The fabricated conductors with remarkably high conductivity, well-retained conductance under large strain, and robust hydrophobicity are of great significance for advanced stretchable electronics.     

Ultrastretchable Ionogel with Extreme Environmental Resilience through Controlled Hydration Interactions

Ionic conductive gels are widely sought after for applications that require reliable ionic conduction and mechanical performance under extreme conditions, which remains a grand challenge. To address this limitation, water-induced hydration interactions are deliberately controlled within the ionic liquid (IL)-based conductive gels (ionogels) to achieve all-round performance. Specifically, the competitive interactions between IL, water and cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) are balanced to preserve the nanoscale morphology of CNF while avoiding its dissolution. As a result, both mechanical performance and ionic conductivity of the resultant ionogel are synergistically enhanced. For instance, an ultra stretchable ionogel (up to 10250 ± 412% stretchability) with both high toughness (21.8 ± 0.9 MJ m⁻³) and ionic conductivity (0.70 ± 0.06 S m⁻¹) is achieved. Furthermore, multimodal sensing functions (strain, compression, temperature, and humidity) are realized by assembling the ionogel as a skin-like membrane. Due to the low volatility of IL and its strong interaction with water, the ionogel maintains an excellent performance at either ultra-low temperature (−45 °C), high temperature (75 °C) or low humidity environment (RH < 15%), demonstrating superb anti-freezing and anti-drying performance. Overall, a simple yet versatile strategy is introduced that leads to environmentally resilient ionogels to meet the requirements of next-generation electroactive devices.     

Mechanochromic Photonic Vitrimer Thermal Management Device Based on Dynamic Covalent Bond

Flexible self-healing thermal management devices are increasingly in demand due to their high flexibility, low driving voltage, and excellent stability of thermal property. In this paper, the design of mechanochromic self-healing thermal management devices is reported based on photonic vitrimer through self-healing dynamic covalent bond. A series of new photonic vitrimers i first prepared by dynamic disulfide covalent bond and PS@SiO₂ photonic crystals. The resulting photonic vitrimer exhibits bright structural colors, large tensile strain (>1000%), high mechanical strength (>10 MPa) and self-healing ability (>95% efficiency). More importantly, the structural color remains constant after 10000 stretching/releasing cycles, demonstrating excellent mechanical stability, creep-resistance, and durability. Taking advantage of the above features, a novel mechanochromic flexible wireless thermal management (MFW) device is developed by semi-embedding the photonic vitrimer in a thermally conductive carbon nanotube film and then integrating it with a Bluetooth module and a control chip. Interestingly, the MFW device exhibits mechanochromic property, fast thermal response, low driving voltage (103 °C, at 3 V), and precise temperature control. Notably, the device even remains electrothermal performance (105 °C) after self-healing. This work provides new insight into the self-healing photonic materials, and the device shows promising applications in wearable electronics, vitro physiotherapy, and personal heating.     

Highly Stretchable,Resilient, Adhesive,and Self-Healing Ionic Hydrogels for Thermoelectric Application

Harvesting low-grade waste heat from the natural environment with thermoelectric materials is considered as a promising solution for the sustainable energy supply for wearable electronic devices. For practical applications, it is desirable to endow the thermoelectric materials with excellent mechanical and self-healing properties, which remains a great challenge. Herein, the design and characterization of a series of high-performance ionic hydrogels for soft thermoelectric generator applications are reported. Composed of a physically cross-linked network of polyacrylic acid (PAA) and polyethylene glycol (PEO) doped with sodium chloride, the resulting PAA-PEO-NaCl ionic hydrogels demonstrates impressive mechanical strength (breaking stress >1.3 MPa), stretchability (>1100%), and toughness (up to 7.34 MJ m⁻³). Moreover, the reversible hydrogen bonding interaction and chain entanglement render the ionic hydrogels with excellent mechanical resilience, adhesion properties, and self-healing properties. At ambient conditions, the electrochemical and thermoelectric performance of the ionic hydrogels can be restored immediately from physical damage such as cutting, and the mechanical healing can be completely restored within 24 h. At the optimized composition, the Seebeck coefficient of the ionic hydrogels can reach 3.26 mV K⁻¹ with a low thermal conductivity of 0.321 W m⁻¹ K⁻¹. Considering the excellent mechanical properties and thermoelectric performance, it is believed that the ionic hydrogels are widely applicable in ionic thermoelectric capacitors to convert low-grade heat into electricity for soft electronic devices.     

Strain-Tolerant,High-Detectivity,and Intrinsically Stretchable All-Polymer Photodiodes

A skin-like photodiode (PD) that is stretchable and skin-conformable is crucial to opening the next-generation wearable electronics for optical biometric monitoring, biomedical imaging, and others. To achieve reliable PD characteristics under large deformation, stretchable PDs with high detectivity and high mechanical stretchability must be developed. Herein, intrinsically stretchable polymer-based PDs (is-PPDs) comprising all-polymeric constituent layers are demonstrated. In particular, elastomeric photoactive layers consisting of an elastomer with p-/n-type semiconducting polymers and conducting polymer-based stretchable transparent electrodes with modulated work functions improve both the mechanical stability and the detectivity (D*) of is-PPDs. Accordingly, is-PPDs show excellent D* over 10¹³ Jones with a suppressed dark current density of 0.1 nA cm⁻² before and after 100% stretching. The proposed is-PPDs record high-quality and stable photoplethysmography signals at the wrist with outward extension.     

Conductive Hydrogel-Based Electrodes and Electrolytes for Stretchable and Self-Healable Supercapacitors

Stretchable self-healing supercapacitors (SCs) can operate under extreme deformation and restore their initial properties after damage with considerably improved durability and reliability, expanding their opportunities in numerous applications, including smart wearable electronics, bioinspired devices, human–machine interactions, etc. It is challenging, however, to achieve mechanical stretchability and self-healability in energy storage technologies, wherein the key issue lies in the exploitation of ideal electrode and electrolyte materials with exceptional mechanical stretchability and self-healing ability besides conductivity. Conductive hydrogels (CHs) possess unique hierarchical porous structure, high electrical/ionic conductivity, broadly tunable physical and chemical properties through molecular design and structure regulation, holding tremendous promise for stretchable self-healing SCs. Hence, this review is innovatively constructed with a focus on stretchable and self-healing CH based electrodes and electrolytes for SCs. First, the common synthetic approaches of CHs are introduced; then the stretching and self-healing strategies involved in CHs are systematically elaborated; followed by an explanation of the conductive mechanism of CHs; then focusing on CH-based electrodes and electrolytes for stretchable self-healing SCs; subsequently, application of stretchable and self-healing SCs in wearable electronics are discussed; finally, a conclusion is drawn along with views on the challenges and future research directions regarding the field of CHs for SCs.     

Multiple Structure Reconstruction by Dual Dynamic Crosslinking Strategy Inducing Self-Reinforcing and Toughening the Polyurethane/Nanocellulose Elastomers

High-performance elastomers are expected to possess excellent healing and recycling ability, damage resistance in conjunction with high strength and toughness. Herein, a dual dynamic crosslinking strategy is implemented by multiple hydrogen and disulfide bonds to obtain a novel amorphous and transparent polyurethane/nanocellulose elastomer with excellent self-healing, self-reinforcing and toughening performance. First, hydrogen bonds are introduced in TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TCNF) by modification with 2-ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidone (UTCNF), while disulfide bonds (SS) are introduced in the polyurethane (PU) main chain, leading to the formation of dual dynamic cross-linking networks. The PU-SS-UTCNF elastomer can fully self-heal within 4.0 h at 50 °C. Surprisingly, for the first time, the PU-SS-UTCNF elastomer also self-strengthens and self-toughens after multiple hot-pressing, with tensile strength and toughness that increase by up to 401% and 257% compared to original elastomer samples, up to 50.0 MPa and 132.5 MJ m^-3. The self-strength and self-toughening effects are attributed to 1) reconstruction of dual dynamic networks that increase the cross-linking degree during the multiple hot-pressing processes; 2) multiple hydrogen bonds in the system are beneficial to the orientation of highly crystallized UTCNF, as a replacement of stress-induced process in deformation under external tensile force.     

Protective coatings of electronics under harsh thermal shock

Industrial electronics devices commonly encounter harsh environmental conditions during their operational lifetime. To protect the electronics from conditions like humidity and contaminants, protective moulding and coating materials can be used. However, the behaviour of materials in harsh environments and their effect on the reliability of electronics in industrial products has been studied only very little. Moreover, the changes in the parameters of several commonly used materials under various conditions remain largely unknown. In this paper the effect of the protective coating and moulding materials on product level reliability of an electronics device was studied under thermal shock test. In addition, the change in the mechanical properties of the materials under test conditions was studied. The conditions of the test used were relatively harsh with extreme temperatures of −40 °C and +125 °C. The samples used in the study were commercial electronics devices designed for use in harsh conditions. The protective materials studied included silicone based conformal coating, polyurethane based moulding material, and silicone based moulding material. Moreover, a comparison test with no protective materials was conducted. The results showed that conformal coating and polyurethane based moulding material markedly decreased the times to failures of the devices. On the other hand, silicone based moulding seemed to slightly improve the reliability of the devices.     

Ultra-Stable,Highly Proton Conductive,and Self-Healing Proton Exchange Membranes Based On Molecule Intercalation Technique and Noncovalent Assembly Nanostructure

Proton exchange membranes (PEMs) that can heal mechanical damage to restore original functions are imperative for fabricating reliable and durable proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Here, an ultra-stable, highly proton conductive self-healing PEM via hydrogen-bonding complexation between Nafion and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) followed by incorporation of sodium lignosulfonate (SLS) intercalation-modified graphene oxide (GO) and post-modification with 4-formylbenzoic acid (FBA) is presented. Notably, the introduction of GO complexes and post-modification of FBA molecules effectively improves the stability of composite membranes and also participate in the establishment of proton-conducting nanochannels. Compared with recast Nafion, the FBA-Nafion/PVA@SLS/GO composite membranes exhibit enhanced mechanical properties (36.2 MPa at 104.8% strain) and higher proton conductivity (0.219 S cm⁻¹ at 80 °C-100% RH and 23.861 mS cm⁻¹ at 80 °C-33% RH, respectively). More importantly, the incorporated PVA gives the FBA-Nafion/PVA@SLS/GO composite membranes superior self-healing capabilities that can heal mechanical damage of several tens of micrometers in size and restore their original proton conductivity under the operating conditions of the PEMFCs. This study opens an avenue toward the development of reliable and durable PEM for PEMFCs.     

Strong,Compressible, and Ultrafast Self-Recovery Organogel with In Situ Electrical Conductivity Improvement

Coordination complexes are widely used to tune the mechanical behaviors of polymer materials, including tensile strength, stretchability, self-healing, and toughness. However, integrating multivalent functions into one material system via solely coordination complexes is challenging, even using combinations of metal ions and polymer ligands. Herein, a single-step process is described using silver-based coordination complexes as cross-linkers to enable high compressibility (>85%). The resultant organogel displays a high compressive strength (>1 MPa) with a low energy loss coefficient (<0.1 at 50% strain). Remarkably, it demonstrates an instant self-recovery at room temperature with a speed >1200 mm s⁻¹, potentially being utilized for designing high-frequency-responsive soft materials (>100 Hz). Importantly, in situ silver nanoparticles are formed, effectively endowing the organogel with high conductivity (550 S cm⁻¹). Given the synthetic simplification to achieve multi-valued properties in a single material system using metal-based coordination complexes, such organogels hold significant potential for wearable electronics, tissue-device interfaces, and soft robot applications.     

Highly Stretchable and Flexible Electrospinning-Based Biofuel Cell for Implantable Electronic

With the emerging demand of implantable microelectronics, it essentially requires the fully integrated and reliable power supplies. The study reports a stretchable and flexible electrospinning-based glucose/O₂ biofuel cell with glucose oxidase bioanode, Pt/C cathode and thermoplastic polyurethane substrate, which is capable for adapting to the various stresses and strains caused by individual movement. The rigid benzene rings and elastic chain segments of thermoplastic polyurethane ensure its superior tensile property. Furthermore, the stable covalent connections between the activated carbon nanotubes (CNTs-COOH) and glucose oxidase inside 3D thermoplastic polyurethane network are established by amide reaction to ensure the rapid direct electron transfer of bioanode and stable power output of device in flexible environments. The biofuel cell exhibits an open circuit voltage of 0.575 V, and high-power density of 57 µW cm⁻² in 5 mM glucose. Moreover, the power-generation properties of implantable biofuel cell keep steady, and its power density exhibits limited fluctuations on the dorsum of rat when bending, stretching, and twisting in 28 days. There is no obvious local inflammation or systemic abnormalities in rats. It satisfies the impressive biocompatible requirement, demonstrating the promising potential of electrospinning-based biofuel cell as a robust self-sustained power source for implantable electronics.     

A Fully Self-Healing and Highly Stretchable Liquid-Free Ionic Conductive Elastomer for Soft Ionotronics

Soft ionic conductors hold great potential for soft ionotronics, such as ionic skin, human–machine interface and soft luminescent device. However, most hydrogel and ionogel-based soft ionic conductors suffer from freezing, evaporation and liquid leakage problems, which limit their use in complex environments. Herein, a class of liquid-free ionic conductive elastomers (ICEs) is reported as an alternative soft ionic conductor in soft ionotronics. These liquid-free ICEs offer a combination of desirable properties, including extraordinary stretchability (up to 1913%), toughness (up to 1.08 MJ cm⁻³), Young's modulus (up to 0.67 MPa), rapid fully self-healing capability at room temperature, and good conductivity (up to 1.01 × 10⁻⁵ S cm⁻¹). The application of these ICEs is demonstrated by creating a wearable sensor that can detect and discriminate minimal deformations and human body movements, such as finger or elbow joint flexion, walking, running, etc. In addition, self-healing soft ionotronic devices are demonstrated to confront mechanical breakdown, such as an ionic skin and an alternating-current electroluminescent device that can reuse from damage. It is believed that these liquid-free ICEs hold great promises for applications in wearable devices and soft ionotronics.     

Printable,Down/Up-Conversion Triple-Mode Fluorescence Responsive and Colorless Self-Healing Elastomers with Superior Toughness

Expanding the practical application range of self-healing materials has become an important challenge for developing smart materials. Herein, the synthesis of printable, triple-mode fluorescence responsive, and colorless self-healing elastomers, formed by the combination of disulfide cross-linked polyurethane (PU) polymers, carbon dots (CDs) down-conversion fluorescence materials, and lanthanide ions doped upconversion fluorescence materials. The PU elastomers with optimal mechanical properties and good restorability (recover large strain of 500% after relaxation at room temperature (R.T.) for 2 h) are selected to incorporate CDs for fabricating fluorescence responsive elastomers (denoted as PU-CDs). Significantly, the prepared PU-CDs exhibit not only superior tensile strength and toughness (20.95 MPa and 85.13MJ m^–3, respectively) than the previously reported R.T. self-healing elastomers but also show good self-healing properties and achieve blue fluorescence emissions under the ultraviolet excitation. Furthermore, a series of dual-mode fluorescence patterns based on formulated core@shell structural upconversion inks are prepared on the transparent PU-CDs elastomers by a directly screen-printing method. Self-healing and integrating a series of fluorescence patterns and damaged electrical patterns can also be accomplished successfully. The designed self-healing materials provide new ideas and important guidance for developing and applying the next generation of smart materials.
