Thanks, looks interesting. I wonder how often this material can be recycled. In the paper they only compare pristine and once-recycled and in the abstract claim that there's no degradation but there appears to be slight degradation of the recycled material outside the variance of pristine material.

I wonder how often this material can be recycled.

Fractures and holes in vPCBs can be repaired while retaining comparable performance over more than four repair cycles.

Edit: wait, holes and repair cycles, i think i'm wrong here.
