Abstract
Traditionally polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomers are prepared by chemical crosslinking reactions.1 As a result, a covalently bonded polymer network is formed, which gives elastomeric properties.2 However, since the polymer backbones are covalently interconnected, elastomers are relatively difficult to process and recycle. To overcome these drawbacks, different approaches have been applied to form thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) including self-assemblies through supramolecular interactions.3 Here, we present an ultra-soft TPE by the combination of urea and 2-ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidone (UPy), possessing two hydrogen bond (H-bond) acceptors and donors.
