Bio-inspired reinforcement of cyclosiloxane hybrid polymer via ‘molecular stitching’

Cyclosiloxane hybrid polymer (CHP) was identified as a nacre-like structure, and was reinforced in a bio-inspired way through the incorporation of soft PDMS segment. Simultaneous improvement in both toughness and strength was observed, and the corresponding reinforcing mechanism was proposed to expl...
