A Novel and Non-Cytotoxic Self-Healing Supramolecular Elastomer Synthesized with Small Molecular Biological Acids
A novel and non-cytotoxic self-healing supramolecular elastomer (SE) is synthesized with small-molecular biological acids by hydrogen-bonding interactions. The synthesized SEs behave as rubber at room temperature without additional plasticizers or crosslinkers, which is attributed to the phase-separated structure. The SE material exhibits outstanding self-healing capability at room temperature and essential non-cytotoxicity, which makes it a potential candidate for biomedical applications.
