The outstanding performance of conventional thermosets arising from their covalently cross-
linked networks directly results in a limited recyclability. The available commercial or close …

Reversible covalent polymers are able to change their bond arrangement and structure via
reversible reaction triggered by external stimuli including heating, light and pH, while …

Thermosets—polymeric materials that adopt a permanent shape upon curing—have a key
role in the modern plastics and rubber industries, comprising about 20 per cent of polymeric …

Epoxy resins have been widely used in several materials including carbon fiber composites;
however, they are arduous to recycle. In this study, for the first time, a Schiff base epoxy …

Compared with thermoplastic polymers, thermoset polymers are difficult to recycle because
they can not be remolded once cured and often do not decompose under mild conditions …

Recent advances in macromolecular chemistry have revolutionized the way we perceive the
synthesis of polymers. Polymerization, to be modern, must be “controlled”, which usually …

Covalent adaptable networks (CANs) represent a transition material combining favorable
features of thermosets and thermoplastics. However, it is still a huge challenge to …

The need to minimize the amount of polymeric waste entering landfills and oceans has led
to several research avenues in the field of polymer science. Particularly, the development of …

Various scenarios of end-of-life management of wind turbine blades are reviewed.“Reactive”
strategies, designed to deal with already available, ageing turbines, installed in the 2000s …

Conventional thermosets, widely used in composites, coatings, electronic packing materials,
etc., are typically made of non-sustainable fossil resources and cannot be recycled under …
