Journal ArticleDOI
Self-healing and thermoreversible rubber from supramolecular assembly
TL;DR: The design and synthesis of molecules that associate together to form both chains and cross-links via hydrogen bonds and the system shows recoverable extensibility up to several hundred per cent and little creep under load are designed and synthesized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silica-Like Malleable Materials from Permanent Organic Networks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors designed epoxy networks that can rearrange their topology by exchange reactions without depolymerization, and showed that they are insoluble and processable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catalytic Control of the Vitrimer Glass Transition
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the transition from liquid to solid is reversible and is, in fact, a glass transition, and they show how to tune the transesterification reaction rate and the broadness of the transition can be controlled at will in epoxy-based vitrimers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Making insoluble polymer networks malleable via olefin metathesis.
TL;DR: By introducing a very low level of the Grubbs' second-generation Ru metathesis catalyst, a chemically cross-linked polybutadiene network becomes malleable at room temperature while retaining its insolubility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of reactions and network structures of epoxy thermosets
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the chemistry of epoxy resins, an almost century-old chemistry, is also involved in the movement of macromolecular chemistry and how this type of control affects the structure of the growing network.
