Article Abstract
Adhesive and self-healing elastomers are urgently needed for their convenience and intelligence in biological medicine, flexible electronics, intelligent residential systems, etc. However, their inevitable use in harsh environments results in further enhancement requirements of the structure and performance of adhesive and self-healing elastomers. Herein, a novel self-healing and high-adhesion silicone elastomer was designed by the synergistic effect of multiple dynamic bonds. It revealed excellent stretchability (368%) and self-healing properties at room temperature (98.1%, 5 h) and in a water environment (96.4% for 5 h). Meanwhile, the resultant silicone elastomer exhibited high adhesion to metal and nonmetal and showed stable adhesion in harsh environments, such as under acidic (pH 1) and alkaline (pH 12) environments, salt water, petroleum ether, water, etc. Furthermore, it was applied as a shatter-proof protective layer and a rust-proof coating, proving its significant potential in intelligent residential system applications.

The rubber-plastic blend thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) have become a significant research topic due to their excellent performance, combining the strength of plastics and the elasticity of rubbers. However, for highly incompatible systems such as silicone-based TPEs (Si-TPEs), achieving a finely tuned and controllable phase morphology remains a significant challenge. In this study, a thermoplastic polyurethane/silicone rubber thermoplastic elastomer (TPU/SiR TPE) was prepared via polymerization-induced phase separation (PIPS), with silicone rubber (SiR) as the dispersed phase and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) as the continuous phase, which possessed a fine phase morphology, flexible formulation, and performance tunability.

Different polyurethanes (PURs) and silicone for potential use in particle accelerators and detectors have been characterized in the uncured state, after curing, and after exposure to ionizing irradiation in ambient air and in liquid helium. The viscosity evolution during processing was measured with a rheometer. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and Shore A hardness measurements were applied to detect irradiation-induced crosslinking and chain scission effects.

Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are a type of smart materials formed by dispersing magneto-responsive micron particles in an elastic polymer matrix. They hold significant potential for various applications due to their tunable stiffness, capability to carry out non-contact actuation, and rapid responsiveness to magnetic fields. However, weak interfacial interactions and poor dispersion of magnetic particles within the polymer matrix often lead to diminished magnetorheological (MR) performance.

Optical fiber composite insulators are essential for photoelectric current measurement, yet insulation failure at embedded optical fiber interfaces remains a major challenge to long-term stability. This study proposes a strategy to replace conventional silicone rubber with cycloaliphatic-like epoxy resin (CEP) as the shed-sheathing material. Three optical fibers with distinct outer coatings, ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE), thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPEE), and epoxy acrylate resin (EA), were evaluated for their interfacial compatibility with CEP.

Lactic acid is the most abundant organic weak acid in the healthy human vagina and plays a pivotal role in maintaining an acidic vaginal environment protective against exogenous bacteria and viruses. However, in dysbiotic or non-optimal vaginal environments, significantly decreased concentrations of lactobacilli result in reduced lactic acid production, increased vaginal pH, and enhanced risk of sexually transmitted infections (including human immunodeficiency virus), and bacterial vaginosis. Various gel-based products are marketed to administer lactic acid vaginally for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis and non-hormonal contraception, and there is interest in developing vaginal ring products for sustained/controlled release of lactic acid.
