The study of synthetic organic polymers rapidly expanded since Staudinger's recognition of
the covalent structure of macromolecules. Today, these materials are far from just an …

Ever since the emergence of polymers, there has been interest in the production of “self-
healing” materials. Over the last decade this dream has become closer to reality with the …

Thermoset elastomers are widely used in industry and frontier research due to their
advantage of mechanical robustness, high thermal/chemical resistance, and good …

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

Covalent thermosets generally exhibit robust mechanical properties, while they are fragile
and lack the ability to be reprocessed or recycled. Herein, a new strategy of incorporating …

The development of covalent adaptable liquid crystal networks (LCNs) enabled by
introducing dynamic covalent bonds has endowed liquid crystal actuators with self-healing …

Once referred to as 'materials of 1,000 uses', plastics meet demands in everything from
clothing and automotive sectors to the manufacturing of medical equipment and electronics …

Windmills, cars, and dental restoration demand polymer materials and composites that are
easy to process, assemble, and recycle while exhibiting outstanding mechanical, thermal …

Cross-linked polymers are ubiquitous in daily life, finding applications as tires, insulation,
adhesives, automotive parts, and countless other products. The covalent cross-links in these …

From cars to airplanes, from household appliances to indoor ornaments, from biomedical
devices to factory equipment, epoxy resins have been deeply rooted in modern society. But …
