Abstract

An elastomer-like phase (ELP) of phosphate salts with ultra-high stability was successfully prepared at the air-solid interface. ELPs possess multilayered structures, and exhibit high elasticity, and strong self-healing abilities. These unique properties of ELPs greatly expand our understanding of inorganic salts and reveal their potential application in future material fields.
