“Drop-in” additives that introduce chemically cleavable bonds into thermosets without
compromising thermomechanical properties could enable triggered material deconstruction …

Polydicyclopentadiene (PDCPD) is a tough, heavily crosslinked thermoset polymer that has
high heat, chemical, and impact resistance coupled with a low density. Current limitations to …

Malleable thermosets are crosslinked polymers containing dynamic covalent bonds, which
can be reversibly cleaved and reformed. They have attracted considerable attention in …

Thermoset polymers and fiber-reinforced polymer composites possess the chemical,
physical, and mechanical properties necessary for energy-efficient vehicles and structures …

Thermosets are important commodity polymeric materials, but they are rarely biorenewable
and recyclable. Although some previously reported bio-based aromatic thermosets with a …

Widely used traditional thermosets have drawn great attention due to their advantageous
features such as excellent stability, mechanical reliability etc. However, brittleness is still the …

Recyclable thermosets and thermoset composites with covalent adaptable networks (CANs,
or dynamic covalent networks) have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to …

Due to its unique physical and chemical properties, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is widely
used in many applications, in which covalent cross-linking is commonly used to cure the …

Chemical recycling of polymers is critical for improving the circular economy of plastics and
environmental sustainability. Traditional thermoset polymers have generally been …

We demonstrated the modular synthesis of polymer thermosets exhibiting programmed
responses that arise from two predesigned functional units: a reversible cross-linker and a …
