Covalent adaptable networks (CANs), unlike typical thermosets or other covalently
crosslinked networks, possess a unique, often dormant ability to activate one or more forms …

Linear chains in thermoplastics make them relatively weak in performance but inherently
weldable and recyclable. By contrast, thermosets with permanently crosslinked networks …

For vitrimer systems obtained by dynamic cross-linking of polymer chains, incompatibility
effects between the cross-links and polymer backbone can lead to microphase separation …

Incorporating dynamic bonds into polymers enables static thermosets to be transformed into
active materials, possessing the reprocessability of thermoplastics while maintaining the …

Covalent adaptable networks (CANs; also known as dynamic covalent networks or vitrimers)
are appealing for developing simple and efficient techniques for recycling thermosetting …

Self-healing thermoset epoxy based on dynamic covalent bond chemistry has been
developed in the past several years, which warrants the creation of recyclable epoxy …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) have received immense attention from materials research
community thanks to their unrivaled properties such as high recoverable strains (up to …

Dynamic covalent network (or covalent adaptable network) polymers can rearrange their
macromolecular chain network by bond exchange reactions (BERs) where an active unit …

Traditional interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) are not adaptable materials because
the topological structure of the macromolecules cannot be changed, which limits their …

Thermoset dissolution based on degradable bond or exchange reaction has been recently
utilized to achieve thermosetting polymer dissolution and recycling. In this paper, an …
