Exercise 1: Room Temperature Self-Healing in Soft Pneumatic Robotics: Autonomous Self-Healing in a Diels-Alder Polymer Network
It’s how this new material design can heal at room temperature on it’s own; this opens up a major potential for future applications within prosthetics to recover from severe damage. @ARTICLE{9288989, author={S. {Terryn} and J. {Brancart} and E. {Roels} and G. {Van Assche} and B. {Vanderborght}}, journal={IEEE Robotics Automation Magazine}, title={Room Temperature Self-Healing in Soft
