Self healing properties of Magpol.
(A) i: Sample is strained until failure and exhibits large plastic before failure. ii: After exposure to an AMF for 30 s, the sample shows shape recovery of the plastically deformed regions without joining of the two halves. iii: Further exposure to the AMF for 20 minutes resulted in healing at the damaged interface. (B) PL spectra of Magpol shows the change in the IE intensity (at 515 nm) before and after damage as well as after healing. (C) Mechanical properties after healing: Loads/extension curves of Magpol, until failure, healed and measured again until failure.
