The Diels–Alder (DA) reaction is regarded as quite a useful strategy in organic and
macromolecular syntheses. The reversibility of this reaction and the advent of self-repair …

Dynamic bonds introduce unique properties such as self‐healing, recyclability, shape
memory, and malleability to polymers. Significant efforts have been made to synthesize a …

The conjugation of biomolecules can impart materials with the bioactivity necessary to
modulate specific cell behaviors. While the biological roles of particular polypeptide …

The purpose of this review is to provide a critical survey covering a few decades of growing
interest in the application to polymer chemistry of the Diels–Alder (DA) reaction between …

The “click” chemistry concept is based on utilizing rapid reactions which are efficient,
versatile, and selective. Indeed, Diels–Alder (DA) reactions fulfill most of the requirements …

New thermoset systems based on disulfide bonds were synthesized with self-healing
capabilities. The self-healing mechanism is not related to disulfide–disulfide exchange …

With a span as long as the history of polymer science itself, post‐polymerization modification
represents a versatile platform for the preparation of diversely functionalized polymers from …

The Diels–Alder reaction leads to a mixture of two diastereomers, one called endo and the
other one exo. The cyclo-reversion temperature of the first one is lower than the exo adduct …

Several approaches and concepts to self healing materials have appeared in the literature
over the last years, all presenting advantages and disadvantages, but definitely showing the …

The autonomic self-healing materials based on microcapsules have made major
advancements for the repairing of microcracks in polymers and polymer composite systems …
