Abstract:Vitrimers represent an environmentally friendly class of materials, which behave like thermosets at room temperature but exhibit thermoplastic flow behavior when heated, making them processable and recyclable, thus extending material life and reducing waste. However, to fully meet the current demand for a sustainable economy, biodegradability at the end of the material life should also be considered, a property that not all vitrimers possess. Based on the above issues, this work aimed to develop biodegradable … Show more
