Taiwanese scientists create self-healing, stretchable organogel

phys.org

Taiwanese scientists created a color-changing organogel that stretches 46 times its size and self-heals. The material, a polyurethane organogel, can stretch up to 4,600% and fully repair itself within 10 minutes at room temperature by simply pressing broken pieces together. This innovation, combining cellulose nanocrystals and artificial molecular muscles, promises applications in flexible electronics, soft robotics, and anti-counterfeiting technologies.
