Abstract
We have developed ionic polydimethylsiloxane elastomers that rapidly and reversibly increase their adhesion upon exposure to carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. The CO2 molecules dissolve quickly into the ionic aggregates, physically crosslinking the polymer chains and plasticizing them. The elastomer consequently becomes softer and more adhesive upon exposure to CO2.
