A review of self-healable natural rubber based on reversible bonds: fundamental, design principle and performance

Natural rubber is one of nature’s most exceptional materials due to its remarkable physicochemical properties. Comparing natural and synthetic rubbers, natural rubber possesses greater performance properties, such as green strength, tear strength, tensile strength, tensile modulus and toughness. Ins...
