Main chain liquid crystal elastomers exhibit several interesting phenomena, such as three
different regimes of elastic response, unconventional stress-strain relationship in one of …

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) composed of ABA block polymers exhibit a wide variety of
properties and are easily processable as they contain physical, rather than chemical, cross …

We propose a theoretical framework for dealing with a transient polymer network
undergoing small deformations, based on the rate of breaking and reforming of network …

Understanding the chemistry and physics of polymer systems challenges scientists from a
wide spectrum of research areas, ranging from polymer science to molecular electronic …

A series of sustainable aliphatic polyester thermoplastic elastomers (APTPEs) consisting of
multi-arm star polymers with arms of poly (l-lactide)-b-poly (γ-methyl-ε-caprolactone) were …

Star block (ABC) 4 terpolymers consisting of a rubbery poly (γ-methyl-ε-
caprolactone)(PγMCL)(C) core and hard poly (l-lactide)(PLLA)(B) and poly (d …

Ethylene-based copolymers such as ethylene/1-octene copolymers (EOCs) are commonly
used in blends for thermoplastic elastomers, foams, and consumer articles. These blends …

Functional polyethylene (PE) bearing pendant hydroxyl groups was dynamically crosslinked
via reactive extrusion using commercially available N, N′-Bis [3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl] …

We develop a continuum model of the dynamic-mechanical response of vitrimers, where the
elastic energy of the material accounts for the conserved number of the crosslinks in the …

We demonstrate a way to tune the critical gelation temperature (T gel) for thermoreversible
ion gels. Thermoreversible ion gels were prepared previously through the self-assembly of …
