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 …

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 incorporation of dynamic covalent linkages within and between polymer chains brings
new properties to classical thermosetting polymer formulations, in particular in terms of …

The vitrimer-thermoset concept represents an important contribution to improve the durability
and recyclability of thermoset-systems. The concept of Associative Dynamic Covalent …

The outstanding performance of conventional thermosets arising from their covalently cross-
linked networks directly results in a limited recyclability. The available commercial or close …

Thermosets dominate the composite industry owing to their outstanding stiffness to weight
ratio and fatigue resistance. Nevertheless, the possibilities of recycling these materials are …

This article reviews some of the intrinsic self-healing epoxy materials that have been
investigated throughout the course of the last twenty years. Emphasis is placed on those …
