Abstract Shape memory polymers (SMPs) have attracted significant attention and hold vast potential for diverse applications. Nevertheless, conventional SMPs suffer from notable shortcomings in terms of mechanical properties, environmental stability, energy density, significantly constraining their practical utility. Here, inspired by the structure muscle fibers, an innovative approach that involves precise incorporation subtle, permanent cross‐linking within a hierarchical hydrogen bonding supramolecular network is reported. This novel strategy has culminated development covalent shape polyurea, which exhibits exceptional including high stiffness (1347 MPa), strength (82.4 toughness (312.7 MJ m −3 ), ensuring its suitability wide range Furthermore, it boasts remarkable recyclability repairability, along with excellent resistance to moisture, heat, solvents. Moreover, polymer demonstrates outstanding effects characterized density (24.5 facilitated formation strain‐induced oriented nanostructures can store substantial amounts entropic energy. Simultaneously, maintains 96% fixity 99% recovery. delicate interplay bonds opens up promising pathway creation high‐performance SMPs, expanding applicability across various domains.

Thermoset elastomers have been extensively applied in many fields because of their excellent mechanical strengths and durable characteristics, such as an chemical resistance. However, the context environmental issues, nonrecyclability thermosets has become a major barrier to further development these materials. Here, well-tailored strategy is reported solve this problem by introducing mismatched supramolecular interactions (MMSIs) into covalently cross-linked poly(urethane-urea) network with dynamic acylsemicarbazide moieties. The MMSIs significantly strengthen toughen thermoset elastomer effectively dissipating energy resisting external stress. In addition, recycling efficiency improved 2.7-fold due superior reversibility MMSIs. optimized features outstanding including ultrahigh tensile strength (110.8 MPa), unprecedented toughness (1245.2 MJ m

Abstract The development of multifunctional bio‐adhesive plays a critical role in achieving sustainable society, where the intrinsic sensitivity to water and poor dynamics severely bottlenecks its scale‐up application. Inspired by microstructure dragonfly wings, strong tough adhesive with excellent reprocessability is designed developed creating dynamic network consisting lignin polyurea (LPU) framework soybean protein (SP). LPU act as rigid nervures slow crack propagation transfer stress, while SP dissipate strain energy through interplay from graded hydrogen imine bonds generated between SP. achieves significant enhancements fracture toughness resistance ≈7 23 folds, respectively, compared Furthermore, capacity for diffusion restoration endows superior reprocessability, enabling recycled particleboard achieve high retention modules (over 80%). This approach offers promising eco‐friendly alternative conventional petrochemical adhesive.

High-performance elastomers that possess a combination of high mechanical toughness and fast healability have garnered extensive interest because their diverse application potential. Inspired by the unique multiple hydrogen bond (H-bond) structure spider silk rapid dynamic exchange hindered urea bonds (HUBs), self-healing polyurea elastomer with ultrahigh was designed incorporating sextuple H-bonds HUBs into polymer chain. Such design affords stretchability (1586%), excellent (45.53 MJ m–3), good efficiency (91.6%), fracture energy (39.68 kJ m–2), recyclability. The performance are attributed to presence reversibly cross-linked noncovalent dynamically covalent HUBs, which been validated stress relaxation tests. Meanwhile, substituting chain extender adipic dihydrazide hexamethylenediamine, possesses comparable but fewer amide bonds, effect on confirmed. More importantly, when conductive layer graphene oxide applied surface resulting elastomer, exhibited potential applications in strain sensors.

Permanent polymer networks present an important sustainability challenge. Irreversible covalent crosslinks impart these materials excellent mechanical properties, thermal and chemical resistance, yet also render them difficult to repair recycle. Self-healing mechanisms can extend the lifetime of thermosets elastomers, improving their durability making lifecycle more sustainable. In addition extension, this paper reviews self-healing polymers from a holistic point view. The entire is critically assessed with reference green chemistry principles sustainable development. relation between chemistries aspects each phases are discussed, starting feedstocks, monomer functionalisation synthesis, processing manufacturing as well end-of-life considerations, i.e. recycling or (bio)degradation. review provides toolbox for development thermosets, elastomers composites. It utmost importance consider materials, derived products – by extension any material product. ability often related recyclability should primarily reduce amount new that necessary fulfill societal needs, extending maximizing reprocessing into products. Increasing healing efficiency number cycles improves overall environmental impact relative extended service lifetime. Renewable resources biomass, processes waste streams be first choice create polymers. Finally, biodegradability considered complementary scenario upon accidental loss environment, provided biodegradation does not start under prospected use conditions products, but postponed until contact stimuli in environment.
