Polymer networks are complex systems consisting of molecular components. Whereas the
properties of the individual components are typically well understood by most chemists …

Significance: Disulfides are important building blocks in the secondary and tertiary structures
of proteins, serving as inter-and intra-subunit cross links. Disulfides are also the major …

In situations of power outage or shortage, such as periods just following a seismic disaster,
the only reliable power source available is the most fundamental of forces ie, manual …

In the following section, we will recapitulate selected experimental milestones through the
eyes of the theoretician, which, in our opinion, significantly advanced the field of covalent …

Mechanochemistry means mechanical breakage of intramolecular bonds by external force
and must be differentiated from molecular solid-state chemistry, where contacts between …

Although known since antiquity, mechanochemistry has remained dormant for centuries.
Nowadays, mechanochemistry is a flourishing research field at the simultaneous stages of …

Current activity in, and future prospects for, the incorporation of mechanochemically active
functional groups (“mechanophores”) into polymers is reviewed. This area of research is …

Transition state structures are central to the rates and outcomes of chemical reactions, but
their fleeting existence often leaves their properties to be inferred rather than observed. By …

Synthetic systems with intrinsic self-repairing or self-healing abilities have emerged during
the past decade. In this work, the influence of the cross-linker and chain rigidity on the …
