Conventional rubber products, such as tires, seals, tubing, and dam** systems are
manufactured via a vulcanization process, which forms covalently crosslinked network …

The molecular chemical structure has a decisive influence on physicochemical properties of
polymer materials, which becomes more complex for hydrogels with dense associative …

The advances in understanding the dynamics of both the physically and chemically
reversible networks are summarized from a rheological perspective. The focus is placed on …

Current progress in understanding the dynamics of associating polymers is reviewed, with
