08.06.2016 Gluing polymers with light

By incorporating a photoswitchable dialdehyde crosslinker into a dynamic covalent imine-based polymer network, Michael and Petr were able to modulate the materials' self-mending behavior with light. The work will appear in a forthcoming issue of Angewandte Chemie and we encourage you to check out some cool video clips associated with the publication.
