1Soft electronic devices require durability to endure their inherent exposure to diverse mechanical deformations, including scratches, punctures, and repeated bending. Without intrinsic damage recovery mechanisms, such deformations inevitably compromise mechanical integrity and limit device lifetime. To address this issue, the strategic incorporation of reversible dynamic bonds enables autonomous self-healing while simultaneously achieving high mechanical toughness through energy dissipation duri
