Dual crosslinking polymer networks: correlation between polymer topologies and self-healing efficiency

Abstract

The topologies of polymers can impact the performance of polymeric materials, including their chemical and physical properties. In this work, a dynamic covalent bond of boronate ester was introduced by...

In Vitro Biocompatibility and Endothelial Permeability of Branched Polyglycidols Generated by Ring-Opening Polymerization of Glycidol with B(C6F5)3 under Dry and Wet Conditions

“…The exploration of bc PG structures is presently ongoing for diverse applications in material synthesis. These applications include adhesives, stabilizers of pigment particles, and self-healing materials . The distinctive topology of bc PGs played a crucial role in influencing the performance and properties of these materials.…”

“…These applications include adhesives, 27 stabilizers of pigment particles, 28 and self-healing materials. 29 The distinctive topology of bc PGs played a crucial role in influencing the performance and properties of these materials. In the biomedical field, we also expect bc PG to demonstrate favorable performance comparable to well-established HPGs and HPG-based materials.…”

The Post-Curing of Waterborne Polyurethane–Acrylate Composite Latex with the Dynamic Disulfide-Bearing Crosslinking Agent

“…The construction of topologically stable and chemically reversible polymer networks combines the advantages of thermosets and thermoplastics [1,2]. Various types of dynamic covalent bonds (DCBs) have been studied for this purpose, including hindered urea [3,4], boronic ester [5][6][7], ester [8,9], imine [10,11], Diels-Alder [12,13], silyl ether [14,15], disulfide [16][17][18][19] and olefin metathesis [20,21], etc. The dissociative or associative mechanisms and the underlying physics at different timescales have also been progressively revealed [22].…”
