Abstract: Autonomic self‐healing films have shown limited mechanical strength, hindering their application as biomaterials, particularly in skin bioengineering. To address this challenge, we developed polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)‐tannic acid (TA)‐based membranes with improved self‐healing properties and strong mechanical performance. Using a blade coating method and freeze–thaw cycles (−10°C for 1 h, followed by room temperature thawing), the synthesized membranes demonstrated a tensile strength of 8.8 MPa before healing and… Show more
