Thermosets dominate the composite industry owing to their outstanding stiffness to weight
ratio and fatigue resistance. Nevertheless, the possibilities of recycling these materials are …

Linear chains in thermoplastics make them relatively weak in performance but inherently
weldable and recyclable. By contrast, thermosets with permanently crosslinked networks …

From civil to industrial engineering, coating can be found almost everywhere. In practical
application, the change of external environment causes coating cracks, resulting in the …

Self-healing polymers and nanocomposites form an important class of responsive materials.
These materials have the capability to reversibly heal their damage. For aerospace …

Recyclability and reprocessability of permanently cross-linked polymeric materials have
received considerable scientific and technological attention in view of the environmental …

Vitrimers, a subset of covalent adaptable networks (CANs), are a class of polymer material
capable of self-healing and shape reprocessing at temperatures above their topology …

Cross-linked polymers with dynamic covalent linkages that can exchange and/or reversibly
cleave and reformed in response to external stimuli are known as covalent adaptable …

Vitrimers are an innovative class of polymers that boast a remarkable fusion of mechanical
and dynamic features, complemented by the added benefit of end‐of‐life recyclability. This …

Polymer vitrimer is a novel material that contains dynamic covalent bonds (DCBs) allowing it
to combine the desirable characteristics of both thermoplastics and thermosets. Similar to …

Dynamic bond exchanging vitrimers have emerged recently due to their malleability, self‐
heal ability, recyclability, and mechanical stability. Likewise, 3D printing is consciously …
