Covalent network polymers, as materials composed of atoms interconnected by covalent
bonds in a continuous network, are known for their thermal and chemical stability. Over the …

The development of recyclable plastics is a key research focus in today's world due to their
environmental issues, and non-renewability concerns. Recently, vitrimeric materials have …

Abstract Development of closed‐loop chemically recyclable plastics (CCRPs) that can be
widely used in daily life can be a fundamental solution to the global plastic waste crisis …

Self-healing is the capability of a material to recover from physical damage. Both physical
and chemical approaches have been used to construct self-healing polymers. These include …

Whilst plastics have played an instrumental role in human development, growing
environmental concerns have led to increasing public scrutiny and demands for outright …

Transforming how plastics are made, unmade, and remade through innovative research and
diverse partnerships that together foster environmental stewardship is critically important to …

The study of synthetic organic polymers rapidly expanded since Staudinger's recognition of
the covalent structure of macromolecules. Today, these materials are far from just an …

The classical division of polymeric materials into thermoplastics and thermosets based on
covalent network structure often implies that these categories are distinct and irreconcilable …

Dynamic covalent polymer networks provide an interesting solution to the challenging
recyclability of thermosets and elastomers. One of the remaining design constraints …

Linear chains in thermoplastics make them relatively weak in performance but inherently
weldable and recyclable. By contrast, thermosets with permanently crosslinked networks …
