Bright and tough: A material that heals itself and glows
A research team at the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) has succeeded in developing a self-healing material that is also capable of emitting a high amount of fluorescence when absorbing light. The research, published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, could lead the way to the creation of new materials such as organic solar cells that are more durable than current types. In 2019, Zhaomin Hou and his team at RIKEN CSRS successfully copolymerized ethylene and anisylpropylene using a rare-earth metal catalyst. The resulting binary copolymer displayed remarkable self-healing properties against damage. The copolymer's soft components, alternating units of ethylene and anisylpropylene, coupled with hard crystalline units of ethylene-ethylene chains, acted as physical cross-linking points, forming a nano-phase-separated structure that proved crucial for self-healing. Building upon this success, they incorporated a luminescent unit, styrylpyrene, into a monomer and then formed polymers that also included anisylpropylene and ethylene. This process led to the synthesis, in a single step, of a self-healing material with fluorescence characteristics.

Developing a futuristic elastomer with ultrahigh strain-induced crystallization
Strain-induced crystallization can strengthen, toughen, and facilitate an elastocaloric effect in elastomers. The resulting crystallinity can be induced by mechanical stretching in common elastomers that are typically below 20%, with a stretchability plateau. In a new report now published in Science Advances, Chase M. Hartquist and a team of scientists in mechanical engineering and materials sciences at MIT and Duke University in the U.S. used a class of elastomers formed by end-linking to achieve a percentage of strain-induced crystallinity. The deswollen and end-linked star elastomer abbreviated as DELSE reached an ultrahigh stretchability to scale, beyond the saturated limit of common elastomers, to promote a high elastocaloric effect with an adiabatic temperature change.

Bust a Move
Entering stage-left like a disco dancer with a score to settle, this tiny ‘soft robot’ makes a determined effort to cross the floor. All the more impressive as people keep sticking knives into its limbs. This quadruped robot is made from a self-healing material – an elastomer that repairs after the cuts, combined with wavy light sensors capable of detecting stress and damage then feeding the information back to a controlling computer. In this particular model, after every cut the robot adjusts its movement – it’s gait – to compensate for its injuries. Researchers believe this new generation of flexible electronics gains a form of awareness or 'damage intelligence' – they’re not only resilient to damage but can adapt to it. Similar robots may be suited to working inside or alongside the body, monitoring stresses and strains on and off the dance floor.
