Polymer, heal thyself! Supramolecular ABA triblock copolymers formed by dimerization of 2‐ureido‐4‐pyrimidinone (UPy) end‐functionalized polystyrene‐ b ‐poly( n ‐butyl acrylate) (PS‐ b ‐PBA) AB diblock copolymers have been synthesized, resulting in a self‐healing material that combines the advantageous mechanical properties of thermoplastic elastomers and the dynamic self‐healing features of supramolecular materials.
