Plasticizer-Promoted Thermal Cross linking of a Dynamic Covalent Polymer with Complementarily Reactive Alkoxyamine Units in the Side Chain under Bulk Conditions

Plasticizer-promoted thermal crosslinking reactions of an alkoxyamine-appended poly(methyl methacrylate)-based dynamic covalent polymer were successfully performed under bulk conditions. The films of the dynamic covalent polymer with complementarily reactive alkoxyamine side chains and dibutyl phthalate as a plasticizer were prepared and their crosslinking behavior was observed at 100 degrees C.
