Harvard Engineers Unveil Technique for Tenfold Increase in Rubber’s Resilience

SEAS researchers have devised a multiscale strategy enabling particle-reinforced rubber to withstand high loads and deter crack propagation over multiple uses. In the image above, cracks expand in the left sample, whereas cracks in the right sample, crafted from the multiscale material, remain unchanged after 350,000 cycles.
