Abstract
experiments were used to prove the self-healing knotting ability of the polymers and quickly close a wound surface using a programmed shape at physiological temperature. The results demonstrated that the injury wound can be effectively healed compared with traditional sutures, which will offer new study suggestions for subsequent healing areas.
