Strong, stretchy, self-healing polymers rapidly recover from damage

A polymer that heals itself with unprecedented speed and efficacy when cut—almost completely recovering its original strength within minutes—has been developed by RIKEN researchers. It was produced using an advanced catalytic method for combining multiple precursors into a single polymer in a controlled fashion.
