Self-assembled elastomers with molecularly encoded tissue-like softness, strain-adaptive stiffening and coloration
The invention generally relates to linear-bottlebrush-linear copolymer blocks and methods of making and using same. The disclosed copolymer blocks can be useful in, for example, the formation of polymer networks that replicate biological stress-strain behavior. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.
