On‐Demand Deconstructable Thermosets Through Cleavable Comonomer and Thermolatent Base Synergy
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Thermosets, valued for their chemical and mechanical properties, resist recycling due to their cross‐linked structure. Weak bonds via comonomers enable degradability, but diffusion limits effectiveness. We incorporate thermolatent bases before polymerization (thermal or 3D‐VAT printing).
