Preparation of post-preparation tunable elastomers by sequential thermal and photo cross-linking

Caption

The properties of conventional elastomers are not modifiable once prepared, leading to excess syntheses. Now, scientists from Japan have got past this limitation with a novel elastomer film that can be tuned post-preparation with UV light.
