As the currently predominant thermoset plastic, epoxy thermoset is widely used in composite
materials, electronic packaging materials, coatings and adhesives. The rapid rise in epoxy …

Covalent adaptable networks (CANs), comprising polymer networks crosslinked by dynamic
covalent bonds (DCBs), have garnered considerable attention as sustainable materials …

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 …

A fully polymerized (cured) thermoset is no longer capable of flow like a thermoplastic to be
recycled and reprocessed into a new object. Developing repairable, malleable and …

Thermosets are known to be very reliable polymeric materials for high-performance and light-
weight applications, due to their retained dimensional stability, chemical inertia and rigidity …

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 …

Cross-linked polymers have attracted an immense attention over the years, however, there
are many flaws of these systems, eg softness and brittleness; such materials possess non …

It is of greater significance to develop amine-cured epoxy vitrimers than conventional epoxy-
carboxylic acid vitrimers because amines are the most widely curing agents than carboxylic …

Vitrimers are a class of covalent adaptable networks (CANs) that undergo topology
reconfiguration via associative exchange reactions, enabling reprocessing at elevated …

Vitrimers are a new class of cross-linked materials that are capable of network topology
alternation through the associative dynamic bond-exchange mechanism, which has recently …
