“…These systems have been extensively investigated from the viewpoint of chemical recycling of polymer materials. , In addition, potential applicability of those systems to the design and development of dissociable adhesives − and self-healable polymer materials ,,− is of recent expanding interest. The reversible reactions that have been employed therein involve (1) equilibrium polymerizations, ,− (2) the Diels–Alder and retro Diels–Alder reactions, ,,− (3) the reversible ring-opening reaction of azalactones with phenols, − (4) olefin metathesis, − and (5) the thermal or photolytic homolysis of covalent bonds into stabilized radicals and their recombination to recover the covalent bonds. ,,, …”
