In the last decades, Covalent Adaptable Networks (CAN) appeared as an innovative
polymer family, able to bridge the gap between thermoplastics and thermosets. CAN rely on …

The development of recyclable plastics is a key research focus in today's world due to their
environmental issues, and non-renewability concerns. Recently, vitrimeric materials have …

Herein, we present the state of the art technology on the recycling, reuse, thermal
decomposition (by thermolysis, thermal processing, flash pyrolysis, smoldering, open …

Polymer networks built out of dynamic covalent bonds offer the potential to translate the
control and tunability of chemical reactions to macroscopic physical properties. Under …

The classical division of polymeric materials into thermoplastics and thermosets based on
covalent network structure often implies that these categories are distinct and irreconcilable …

The development of more sustainable materials with a prolonged useful lifetime is a key
requirement for a transition towards a more circular economy. However, polymer materials …

The incorporation of dynamic covalent linkages within and between polymer chains brings
new properties to classical thermosetting polymer formulations, in particular in terms of …

The vitrimer-thermoset concept represents an important contribution to improve the durability
and recyclability of thermoset-systems. The concept of Associative Dynamic Covalent …

We describe the full rheology profile of vitrimers, from small deformation (linear) to large
deformation (non-linear) viscoelastic behaviour, providing concise analytical expressions to …

With large quantities of waste carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites
generated, the development of recycling routes for CFRP composites have been driven by …
