A paper from Materials Horizons has been featured in Chemistry World. This feature has in turn been picked up by both United Press International,the Daily Mail newspaper and Fox News. In this paper, bis(4-aminophenyl) disulfide is used as a dynamic cross-linker for the design of self-healing poly(urea-urethane) elastomers which can heal at room temperature by placing the sections together without any catalyst or other external intervension.
