H2O and oxalic acid dehydrate was found to have self-healing properties. Remarkably, the system also displayed an unprecedented ability to impart self-healing properties to other gel networks lacking this capacity. A self-healed CuA-Ox metallogel was found to have essentially the same nanofibrillar morphology, thermal stability, rheological properties, and conductivity as the freshly prepared sample. The discovery also allowed the fabrication of self-healing conductive composites containing conductive carbonaceous materials. Overall, this work serves as a proof of concept for the transfer of self-healing properties between completely different gel networks.</p>1 aFeldner, Tobias1 aHaering, Marleen1 aSaha, Subhadeep1 aEsquena, Jordi1 aBanerjee, Rahul1 aDiaz, David, Diaz  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/supramolecular-metallogel-imparts-self-healing-properties-other-gel-networks
