Polymers are indispensable to humans in different applications due their ease of manufacturing and overall performance. However, after a material lifetime, there is large amount polymer-based waste, which greatly contributes the loss valuable resources environmental pollution. Thermoplastics may be readily recycled, but because flammability, amounts flame retardant (FR) additives required for many applications. This results significant volume FR polymeric wastes too, particularly halogenated plastics, subject severe recycling regulations.

This class next-generation materials, called adaptable networks, shows significant promise in composites, soft optoelectronics, robotics. Herein, we synthesized two oligosiloxane-based epoxy networks that provide fast bond exchange. Oligosiloxane diepoxides were cured stoichiometric amounts 1,2-phenylenediacetic acid to generate bonding mechanisms. The resulting provided access stress-relaxation times (1–10 min) at temperatures only 130 °C excellent reprocessability.

The nondegradability, nonreusability, and flammability of epoxy coatings have brought serious environmental safety issues. Herein, a multifunctional, fire-retardant vitrimer coating (DCNC/45PETO) was prepared via curing bis(2,3-epoxypropyl)cyclohex-4-ene-1,2-dicarboxylate (DCNC) with well-designed phosphaphenanthrene-containing polyethylenimine (PETO) at room temperature. DCNC/45PETO exhibits excellent adhesion to different substrates, high adhesive strength 7.9 MPa on wood, outperforming previous wood coatings/adhesives. endows fire retardancy, including limiting oxygen index 34.0% vertical burning (UL-94) V-0 rating. demonstrates durable performances in harsh environments. self-catalytic transesterification within the network effectively avoids application extra toxic catalysts, this can be reused for least 5 times mild conditions without compromising its performances. This study provides an innovative design strategy creating multifunctional coatings, showing great potential construction field.

A vitrimer has covalent cross-links that preserve network connectivity but permit topology fluctuations through dynamic exchange reactions. In this work, we investigate the linear rheology of polybutadiene (PB) vitrimers bearing via dioxaborolane metathesis. PB are cross-linked in solution using photoinitiated thiol-ene click chemistry. As targeted cross-link density is increased, both insoluble fraction and glass-transition temperature increase. Linear viscoelasticity studied a combination small-amplitude oscillatory shear (SAOS), creep, stress relaxation measurements.

Abstract Dynamic covalent chemistry offers a solution to tackle the recycling issue of epoxy resins (EPs) and their carbon fiber‐reinforced composites; however, vulnerability creep associated with inflammable nature EPs are key obstacles for applications. Herein, we propose feasible facile strategy overcome these by incorporating phosphorus‐influenced Diels‐Alder (DA) construct dynamic networks. In strategy, electron‐withdrawing phosphonate in dienophile maleimide greatly promotes thermal stability DA reaction, exhibiting excellent resistance, repairability, malleability; while its flame‐retardant activity improves fire safety resultant thermosets. Meanwhile, nondestructive fiber is achieved. The ease which EP composites can be manufactured, used, recycled re‐used–without losing service performance–points new orientation sustainable composites. image
