Self-healing of DyNAtrix (1% (w/v) P 5 crosslinked with CCL-4) was confirmed by repetitive strain recovery tests alternating between 1,000% strain (breaking period, b) and 10% strain (healing period, h). When 1,000% strain is applied, DyNAtrix liquefies, as revealed by a drastic drop of its stiffness ( G ′ << G ″) and increase of the phase angle from 3° ± 1° to 74° ± 1°. DyNAtrix showed over 95% of recovery after 10 consecutive breakage–recovery cycles.
