“…Only a few examples of vitrimer synthesis by reactive processing of thermoplastics have been reported to date. [62,99,121,122] For the future, we believe it will be advantageous to develop new grafting chemistries and dynamic covalent bonds that are compatible with this processing technique.…”

The study of synthetic organic polymers rapidly expanded since Staudinger's recognition of the covalent structure of macromolecules. Today, these materials are far from just an academic concept-they are produced industrially and have become ubiquitous in everyday life because of their low cost and desirable physical properties. Nevertheless, a difficult choice between durability and reprocessability continues to hamper efforts to design synthetic organic polymers to be more recyclable. A new class of materials, vitrimers, has emerged as an intriguing approach to circumvent this tradeoff. Vitrimers are permanent networks of polymer chains connected via dynamic covalent bonds, which allow the network to change its topology while maintaining a constant number of chemical bonds at all temperatures. Characterized by both high mechanical performance and facile processing, vitrimers are well positioned to transition from academic labs to industrial production. The aim of this Trend article is to review the concept of vitrimers, describe their most unique properties, and present our outlook on outstanding challenges that must be met to realize vitrimers as a next generation solution for recyclable high performance materials.

Polyolefins play a crucial role in the polymer industry because of their low-cost monomers and well-established production processes. Recent years have witnessed tremendous progress in direct and tandem copolymerization strategies that provide an opportunity of developing polyolefins bearing polar groups with distinctive architectures and properties. In this perspective, we first highlight new routes for the proficient synthesis of tailor-made functional polyolefins and briefly discuss their designing tactics. Then, we attempt to categorize these, recently appeared in the literature, innovative functional polyolefins on the basis of their applications. The prospected future applications of polar olefin copolymers include biomedical materials, catalysts, energy storage devices, and conductive polymers, which open up new arenas and paradigms for academic research and industrial products development. Critical issues concerning intelligent functional polyolefins and green chemistry are discussed, too.
