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 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 development of more sustainable materials with a prolonged useful lifetime is a key
requirement for a transition towards a more circular economy. However, polymer materials …

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 …

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

From cars to airplanes, from household appliances to indoor ornaments, from biomedical
devices to factory equipment, epoxy resins have been deeply rooted in modern society. But …

A fully polymerized (cured) thermoset is no longer capable of flow like a thermoplastic to be
recycled and reprocessed into a new object. Develo** repairable, malleable and …

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 …

To date, all epoxy vitrimer systems reported in the literature rely on addition of significant
amounts of catalysts to achieve the dynamic transesterification reaction (TER). However, the …
