Strong and crack-tolerant elastomers via geometrically confined H-bonding semicarbazides
The development of high-performance elastomers that are simultaneously strong, crack-tolerant, and wear-resistant remains a persistent challenge. Herein, we design bio-inspired semicarbazide chain extender featuring high-density hydrogen-bonding sites to synthesize poly(urethane-urea) (PUU). The use of two such extende...
