(a) Scheme of the optical healing mechanism of phase-separated MSP. (b) The height images (AFM) of a film that has been damaged and treated with 100% La³⁺ are depicted, displaying the film’s conditions prior to healing (left), subsequent to partial healing (middle), and finally complete healing (right). (c) Images of how UV light was used to repair a polymer film prepared with 70% Zn²⁺ using UV light (320–390 nm). Reprinted with permission from ref. [85].
