Dynamic covalent polymer networks provide an interesting solution to the challenging
recyclability of thermosets and elastomers. One of the remaining design constraints …

Vitrimers are polymer networks in which associative exchange reactions can take place
under specific conditions, thus conferring reprocessability to insoluble materials. Recently …

Covalent adaptable networks (CANs) play an important role in polymer chemistry, as they
provide an innovative link between thermoplastics and thermosets. The breakthrough idea …

On‐demand adhesive dismantling has the potential to improve multimaterial product
recycling, but its implementation has been hampered by a critical trade‐off between strong …

Thermosets and thermoset composites constitute an extraordinary challenge for recycling
and participation in a circular economy because their permanent covalent cross-links …

The development of epoxy vitrimers with excellent overall properties and recyclability has
