Abstract
H NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy to determine the self-healing mechanism of the system, thus demonstrating that the cooperative effect of the dynamic covalent and noncovalent interactions contributes to the self-healing capability of the gel. Rheology, scanning electron microscopy and light-emitting diode circuits were carried out to examine its macroscopic and microscopic properties, making it possible to apply in soft and conformable electronics.
