Dynamic Covalent Polymer Networks: A Molecular Platform for Designing Functions beyond Chemical Recycling and Self-Healing

Ning Zheng et al.

Summary: Dynamic covalent polymer networks have shown unique roles in chemical recycling and self-healing, with recent advancements in dynamic chemistry and material concepts leading to promising applications in energy, electronics, and beyond. The design versatility and functional properties offered by DCPN have gained traction, with opportunities in shape-shifting materials, artificial muscles, and network topologies manipulation. Additionally, molecular design strategies for exploiting functional material properties have been a focus, showing potential for shaping the future alongside classical thermoplastic and thermoset polymers.

100th Anniversary of Macromolecular Science Viewpoint: Redefining Sustainable Polymers

Danielle E. Fagnani et al.

Summary: There has been an increased focus on sustainable polymers in recent years, but less attention has been paid to the end-of-life fate of polymers. It is suggested to place more emphasis on chemical recycling to promote a closed-loop plastic economy, in order to keep us on the path to sustainability.

A Structure-Properties Relationship Study of Self-Healing Materials Based on Styrene and Furfuryl Methacrylate Cross-Linked via Diels-Alder Chemistry

Patrizio Raffa et al.

Summary: A series of copolymers of styrene and furfuryl methacrylate with different molecular structures were synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization and cross-linked with a bismaleimide using a thermally reversible Diels-Alder reaction to create self-healing materials. The study found that the furan/styrene ratio and molecular architecture significantly influenced the properties, and that the reversibility of the DA reaction was incomplete in solid-state for materials with high cross-linking density. This research provides important insights for designing thermally reversible materials used in self-healing thermosets, coatings, or adhesives.

Metal-Free Organocatalyzed Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization: Synthesis, Applications, and Future Perspectives

Sayeny de avila Goncalves et al.

Summary: Reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) is a powerful technique for synthesizing polymers with well-defined properties. O-ATRP, an alternative to traditional ATRP, utilizes organic compounds as catalysts under light irradiation, allowing for the synthesis of advanced materials. Studies on the mechanism and applications of O-ATRP demonstrate its significant potential and impact in the synthesis of functional materials.
