Researchers have proposed reversible imine crosslinking in waterborne self-healing polymer coatings. Waterborne polymer coatings have the potential to address the environmental concerns associated with solvent based systems. To improve their performance without using volatile organic compounds, researchers now propose a new approach based on reconfigurable covalent crosslinking that provides mechanical resistance and self-healing properties. The…
