Abstract
Various embodiments are directed to apparatuses and methods involving an elastomer material comprising a flexible polymer backbone with a particular ratio of at least first moieties and second moieties. The first moieties provide a first number of dynamic bonds resulting from interactions between the first moieties and the second moieties provide a second number of dynamic bonds resulting from interactions between the second moieties, the second number of dynamic bonds having a weaker bonding strength than the first number of dynamic bonds. The elastomer material, based on the ratio of the first moieties and second moieties, exhibits autonomous self-healing, a particular toughness, and is stretchable.
