The synthesis and processing of most thermoplastics and thermoset polymeric materials rely
on energy-inefficient and environmentally burdensome manufacturing methods. Frontal …

Polymers have many advantages such as low weight, low cost, and, importantly, stability
under thermal, chemical, and mechanical stress. This stability, on the other hand, leads to …

Convenient strategies for the deconstruction and reprocessing of thermosets could improve
the circularity of these materials, but most approaches developed to date do not involve …

Although a variety of dynamic covalent bonds have been successfully used in the
development of diverse sustainable thermosetting polymers and their composites, solving …

Thermosets present sustainability challenges that could potentially be addressed through
the design of deconstructable variants with tunable properties; however, the combinatorial …

Radical induced cationic frontal polymerisation (RICFP) is considered a promising low
energy method for processing of fibre reinforced polymers (FRPs). Optimisation of the local …

While Si-containing polymers can often be deconstructed using chemical triggers such as
fluoride, acids, and bases, they are resistant to cleavage by mild reagents such as biological …

The development of cleavable comonomers (CCs) with suitable copolymerization reactivity
paves the way for the introduction of backbone deconstructability into polymers. Recent …

While valued for their durability and exceptional performance, crosslinked thermosets are
challenging to recycle and reuse. Here, inherent reprocessability in industrially relevant …

In this study, we explore the distinct reactivity patterns between frontal ring-opening
metathesis polymerization (FROMP) and room-temperature solventless ring-opening …
