Mechanically robust, readily repairable polymers via tailored noncovalent cross-linking
Expanding the range of healable materials is an important challenge for sustainable societies. Noncrystalline, high-molecular-weight polymers generally form mechanically robust materials, which, however, are difficult to repair once they are fractured. This is because their polymer chains are heavily entangled and diffuse too sluggishly to unite fractured surfaces within reasonable time scales. Here we report that low-molecular-weight polymers, when cross-linked by dense hydrogen bonds, yield mechanically robust yet readily repairable materials, despite their extremely slow diffusion dynamics. A key was to use thiourea, wh...

Learning from our Lotte
Sam, Lotte and Caroline Parenting is a messy adventure – it tests our patience, our will and our energy, but never our concern, love or passion for our children. With three kids under 10, my wife, Caroline, and I have managed broken noses, split lips, cuts and bruises too numerous to count … even Lyme disease, skin disorders, and serious fevers – most seem to come with the territory. But there have been rare moments when one of our kids was sick and we didn’t know what was wrong or how to ease the pain, and in those moments, we felt pretty desperate.

News From the Society
When post-acute and long-term care practitioners get together, they can accomplish great things. That can be a challenge when you live in Hawaii, where you might be hundreds of miles from colleagues. However, Aida Wen, MD, CMD, Hawaii Medical Directors Association president, has found a way to unite colleagues for education, information exchange, and — most recently — a focus on antibiotic stewardship. And she has done this with help from AMDA – the Society of Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine, the American Board of Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine, and some user-friendly technology.
