Biomaterials with the ability to self-heal and recover their structural integrity offer many
advantages for applications in biomedicine. The past decade has witnessed the rapid …

Polymer materials provide solutions to some of the most pressing environmental,
manufacturing and health-care challenges. Traditional thermoplastic and thermoset …

Polymer networks built out of dynamic covalent bonds offer the potential to translate the
control and tunability of chemical reactions to macroscopic physical properties. Under …

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

Covalent adaptable networks (CANs) are covalently cross-linked polymers that may be
reshaped via cross-linking and/or strand exchange at elevated temperatures. They …

Ever since the emergence of polymers, there has been interest in the production of “self-
healing” materials. Over the last decade this dream has become closer to reality with the …

Covalent adaptable networks (CANs), unlike typical thermosets or other covalently
crosslinked networks, possess a unique, often dormant ability to activate one or more forms …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) and its mechanical properties play an important role in
regulating the cellular responses that occur during tissue regeneration, wound healing, and …

Reversible covalent polymers are able to change their bond arrangement and structure via
reversible reaction triggered by external stimuli including heating, light and pH, while …

Dynamic covalent polymer networks have long been recognized. With the initial focus on the
unintended impact of dynamic covalent linkages on the viscoelasticity of commercial …
