Rubber is made of polymers often connected by permanent, covalent bonds. In order to make a rubber self-healable, the team needed to make the bonds connecting the polymers reversible, so that the bonds could break and reform. However, engineering self-healing properties in dry materials such as rubber has proven more challenging.
