Abstract:
Degradable polymers are under intense development for sustainability and healthcare. Evidence has accumulated that the chemical reaction that decomposes a polymer an also grow a crack. Even under a small load, the crack speed can be orders of magnitude higher than the overall rate of degradation, leading to premature failure. Here, we demonstrate that a crack slows down markedly in a composite of two degradable materials.
