A novel strategy based on a multi-scale topological network design to prepare high-performance vegetable oil-based elastomers (VOEs) is proposed. The resulting VOEs with dual-network structures exhibit significant comprehensive advantages, including high vegetable oil content, simple and green synthesis process, transcendent low-temperature resistance, excellent mechanical properties, and outstanding reprocessability and self-healing capability.
