Mechanochemistry provides a unique approach to investigate macroscopic deformation,
failure and healing of polymer materials. The development of mechanophores–molecular …

Traditional chemotherapy suffers from severe toxicity and side effects that limit its maximum
application in cancer therapy. To overcome this challenge, an ideal treatment strategy would …

Reversible covalent polymers are able to change their bond arrangement and structure via
reversible reaction triggered by external stimuli including heating, light and pH, while …

It is of great importance to develop epoxy vitrimers with the combination of high performance
and versatile recyclability. Herein, two imine-containing hardeners were synthesized from …

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRPCs) made of a “dynamic” epoxy resin possess
good mechanical properties, while showing reprocessability, reparability and recyclability …

Structural adhesives are commonly used to join dissimilar materials and are of particular
interest in complex technological devices used in automotive, telecommunications, photonic …

3D printing of polymeric materials for various applications has been quickly developed in
recent years. In contrast to thermoplastics, 3D printed thermosets, although desirable, are …

Vitrimers are cross-linked polymer networks containing linkages that undergo thermally
activated, associative exchange reactions, such that the cross-link density and overall …

Compared with thermoplastic polymers, thermoset polymers are difficult to recycle because
they can not be remolded once cured and often do not decompose under mild conditions …

Flexible conductive composites can be used as wearable strain sensors, which are widely
used in the fields of new-generation robotics, electronic skin, and human detection …
