Polymer networks built out of dynamic covalent bonds offer the potential to translate control and tunability chemical reactions macroscopic physical properties. Under conditions at which these occur, topology adaptable (CANs) can rearrange, meaning that they flow, self-heal, be remolded, respond stimuli. Materials with properties are necessary fields ranging from sustainability tissue engineering; thus time scale network rearrangement must compatible intended use. The mechanical CANs based on thermodynamics kinetics their constituent bonds. Therefore, strategies needed connect molecular worlds. In this Perspective, we analyze structure-reactivity-property relationships for several classes CANs, illustrating both general design principles predictive linear free energy (LFERs) applied CANs.

Abstract Light‐based 3D printing has received significant attention due to several advantages including high speed and resolution. Along with the development of new technologies, material design is key for next generation light‐based printing. Conventional printable polymeric materials, also known as photopolymers or photoresins, often lead thermosets–polymer networks cross‐linked by permanent covalent bonds which bring limited adaptability restricted reprocessability. Dynamic that can reversibly break reform enable network rearrangement, thereby offering unprecedented properties materials such adaptability, self‐healing, recycling capabilities. Hence, introducing dynamic into a promising strategy further expand meet diverse application scenarios printed multi‐functional moreover more demanding sustainable nature‐inspired considerations (e.g., self‐healing).

Epoxy resins constitute a very significant portion of all high-performance plastics due to their excellent thermal and mechanical properties that appear in wide range applications. Nevertheless, traditional epoxy networks show limitations regarding chemical recycling covalently crosslinked structures. The current methods recycle are not indeed through sustainable ways, but this issue could be solved by developing smart monomers with functional groups, which can switched between polymerized depolymerized states. Herein, we developed two bio-based liquid based on vanillin structures containing aldehyde, acetal, oxirane-ring functionalities. These were solvent-free conditions using commercially available diamines, resulting double-dynamic imine-acetal-containing thermosets. combine the systems dynamic polymers. Most importantly, such thermosets fully into vanillin, reused for preparation original monomers, mixture well-defined polyols, was upcycled polyurethane.
