Abstract
A self-healing polymer material that includes a multiphase copolymer, and a method of making the copolymer, are provided. The multiphase copolymer includes one or more hydrogen bond-forming copolymer segments, each segment including a polymerized acrylamide monomer and a polymerized acrylic monomer. The polymerized acrylamide monomer includes functional groups that form hydrogen bonds in the multiphase copolymer, and is present in the one or more copolymer segments in an amount sufficient for self-healing of the multiphase copolymer.
