Biobased vitrimers: Towards sustainable and adaptable performing polymer materials

Matteo Andrea Lucherelli et al.

Summary: Covalent Adaptable Networks (CAN) are innovative polymers that bridge the gap between thermoplastics and thermosets by utilizing dynamic covalent chemistry. Vitrimers, a type of CAN, are crosslinked polymers in which the covalent linkages can be redistributed within the network upon heating thanks to associative exchange reactions, while maintaining the network integrity.

Sustainable Myrcene-Based Elastomers via a Convenient Anionic Polymerization

David Hermann Lamparelli et al.

Summary: Soluble heterocomplexes of sodium hydride and trialkylaluminum derivatives were used as anionic initiators for the polymerization of myrcene, styrene, and isoprene in toluene at 100 degrees C. By modulating the feed and ratio, elastomeric materials with diverse thermal profiles and polymeric architectures were obtained. The study also showed an accessible method for producing various elastomers through anionic copolymerization of renewable terpenes like myrcene with commodity monomers.
