Characterization Techniques to Assess Recyclability in Dynamic Polymer Networks

Frontiers in Materials, 2022
The inclusion of dynamic covalent bonds in cross-linked polymer networks enables material reprocessing towards a circular economy. Bond dynamicity in this class of materials, called covalent adaptable networks (CANs), is characterized by a mixture of ...

Incorporating Functionalized Cellulose to Increase the Toughness of Covalent Adaptable Networks [PDF]

, 2020
Covalent adaptable networks (CANs) are cross-linked polymers that have mechanical properties similar to thermosets at operating conditions, yet can be reprocessed by cross-link exchange reactions that are activated by a stimulus.

A facile strategy to achieve polyurethane vitrimers from chemical recycling of poly(carbonate)

Chemical Engineering Journal Advances, 2022
Polyurethane vitrimers (PUVs) incorporating urethane reversion covalent adaptable networks are usually limited by the use of aliphatic alcohol for carbamate groups, resulting in high activation energy for bond exchange.
