| Description | We have discovered two novel polymers which exhibit the ability to heal mechanical damage and recover their original strength. Both are bio-compatible, and one is able to heal at body temperature. We have also now discovered a material with highly tunable mechanical response. |
| Exploitation Route | These materials have potential application as adhesives, coatings and binders, especially in medical applications. |
