Dynamic-Bond Self-Healing Polymer Simulator

Cut a reversible-bond polymer network in two, then press the halves back together and watch Diels-Alder-style dynamic bonds break at the cut and reform across the interface as the network re-heals.

ControlsClick "Cut sample" to sever the network along its mid-plane; drag either half (or click "Press halves together") to bring the cut faces back into contact; temperature slider (20-120C) sets how fast dynamic bonds reform across the interface; Reset sample restores an uncut block; drag to orbit the camera.

Cut a reversible-bond polymer network in two and watch Diels-Alder-style dynamic crosslinks snap open at the cut. Drag the halves back into contact, raise the temperature, and watch bonds reform one by one across the interface as a strength gauge tracks how much mechanical integrity the network regains.
