The ability of artificial materials to be healed efficiently, mimicking the living organisms,
exhibits a great deal of potential advantages that can revolutionise the operation and …

Dynamic covalent bonds (DCBs) have received significant attention over the past decade.
These are covalent bonds that are capable of exchanging or switching between several …

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

Dynamic bonds introduce unique properties such as self‐healing, recyclability, shape
memory, and malleability to polymers. Significant efforts have been made to synthesize a …

The current approach to regulating mechanical properties of elastomeric materials is
predominately based on the exploratory mixing of different polymers, solvents, and fillers …

In this work, the fundamental design principles of intrinsic self‐healing, polymeric materials
with reversible, covalent bonds are described and summarized. The most important …

The design of covalent adaptable networks (CANs) relies on the ability to trigger the
rearrangement of bonds within a polymer network. Simple activated alkynes are now used …

Advances in materials, designs, and controls are propelling the field of soft robotics at an
incredible rate; however, current methods for prototyping soft robots remain cumbersome …

Current vitrimer technology uses only a handful of distinct reactions for cross-linking. New
dynamic reactions can diversify vitrimer functionality and properties. In this paper, reversible …

Although the catalyst-free dynamic thia-Michael (tM) reaction has been leveraged for a
range of significant applications in materials science and pharmaceutical development …
