Abstract:Developing advanced structural polymers with simultaneously
high
strength and toughness remains a significant materials design challenge.
Two strategies that have been used in different polymers to address
this challenge are dynamically cross-linking polymer chains through
hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) and reducing the dimensions of polymeric
structures to submicron length scales (i.e., size effects). The current
study aims to understand the direct role of relatively weak H-bonds
in improving the elasto-plastic mec… Show more
