Access to a wide range of plastic materials has been rationalized by the increased demand
from growing populations and the development of high-throughput production systems …

In the last decades, Covalent Adaptable Networks (CAN) appeared as an innovative
polymer family, able to bridge the gap between thermoplastics and thermosets. CAN rely on …

Thermosets have many advantages such as excellent mechanical properties, dimensional
stability, and chemical and environmental resistance, but suffer from unsustainability …

To promote the sustainable development of society, it is important to develop methods for
facile fabrication of bio‐based plastics that are mechanically robust and capable of recycling …

This work describes new fully bio-based vitrimers prepared from isosorbide, a renewable
sugar-based chemical. Isosorbide was reacted with 4-hydroxypropionic acid …

Traditional commercial thermosetting materials are currently facing significant challenges in
terms of reprocessing, degradation, and recycling because of a large demand of petroleum …

The circularity of current and future polymeric materials is a major focus of fundamental and
applied research, as undesirable end-of-life outcomes and waste accumulation are global …

Covalent adaptable networks (CANs) are crosslinked polymers with dynamic covalent
bonds, which enable these networks to exhibit both the durability of thermosets and the …

Dynamic networks couple the robust nature of thermosets with the shapeability and
recyclability of thermoplastics. Though a wealth of exchange chemistries can be leveraged …

Improving the sustainability of polymer networks is a crucial challenge in polymer science
due to their important role in industry. Their traditional syntheses conflict with several …
