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 …

Polyolefins are the largest-scale synthetic plastics and play a key role in modern society.
Their production consumes huge amounts of fossil-derived monomer feedstocks, which …

Mechanically interlocked networks (MINs) have emerged as an encouraging platform for the
development of mechanically robust yet adaptive materials. However, the difficulty in …

We describe the full rheology profile of vitrimers, from small deformation (linear) to large
deformation (non-linear) viscoelastic behaviour, providing concise analytical expressions to …

Less than 10% of plastics are recycled worldwide, among which polyolefins, which form two-
thirds of all produced polymers, are the most discarded ones. This stems from the nonpolar …

We report a straightforward chemical strategy to tackle current challenges of irreversible
deformation in low Tg vitrimers at operating temperature. In particular, vinylogous urethane …

The rapid increase in the use of plastics and the related sustainability issues, including the
depletion of global petroleum reserves, have rightly sparked interest in the use of biobased …

Vitrimers, in stringent contrast to dissociative networks, involve associative covalent
exchanges and remain fully cross-linked at all temperatures. However, we have previously …

Covalent adaptable networks (CANs) represent a transition material combining favorable
features of thermosets and thermoplastics. However, it is still a huge challenge to …
