Novel self‐healing supramolecular elastomers based on polydimethylsiloxanes (SESi) were synthesized from a mixture of polydimethylsiloxanes derivers with single, di‐, or tri‐carboxylic acid groups (PDMS–COOH x , where x = 1, 2, and 3, respectively), diethylene triamine, and urea with a two‐stage procedure. The reactions and the final products were tracked, characterized, and confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1 H‐NMR, differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical analysis, and gel permeation chromatography. Compared with a supramolecular rubber based on dimer acid (reported previously) with a similar synthesis procedure, the SESi showed a lower glass‐transition temperature of about −113°C for the softer chain of polydimethylsiloxane and showed real rubberlike elastic behavior and self‐healing properties at room temperature or even lower temperatures. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
