Self-healing elastomers based on conjugated diolefins: a review
Prasanta Kumar Behera, Subhra Mohanty, V.K. Gupta
Abstract
The introduction of dynamic covalent and physical crosslinks into diolefin-based elastomers improves mechanical and self-healing properties. The presence of dynamic crosslinks also helps in the reprocessing of elastomers.
