Dynamic covalent polymer networks (DCPN) have historically attracted attention for their
unique roles in chemical recycling and self-healing, which are both relevant for sustainable …

In polymer science and industry, the important role of thermosetting resin is well-recognized.
However, most thermosets suffer from the overdependence on petroleum resource and in …

Epoxy vitrimers have emerged as a new class of self-healing, recyclable, and reprocessable
materials, offering new opportunities to traditional epoxy thermosets by improving life-span …

Conventional thermosets are infusible and insoluble covalently cross-linked polymers that
are difficult to recycle and reuse when discarded. Recent years have witnessed the …

Thermosets have many advantages such as excellent mechanical properties, dimensional
stability, and chemical and environmental resistance, but suffer from unsustainability …

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 …

Strong covalent chemical bonds that can also be reversed, cleaved or exchanged are the
subject of so-called dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC). Applications range from classical …

Thermosets are polymeric materials that contain permanent networks and thus are difficult to
recycle. They are not reprocessable once cured and often do not degrade under mild …

The lack of functionalities such as degradability, antibacterial, and flame retardancy is the
key to limit the further wide application of conventional epoxy thermosets. In this work, a …

The meaningful concept of circular economy has prompted the scientific community to re-
think the design of materials. In this work, lignin-based benzoxazines (LBZs) thermosets with …
