Biobased vitrimers represent a promising class of recyclable thermosetting polymers due to their dynamic covalent networks.
A series of bow-shaped hexacatenar molecules with a diphenylamine core connected with six dodecanyl chain at each end through different linking-group were firstly reported. Different linking groups can precisely modulate...
The macroscopic response of a thermoresponsive hydrogel depends on how its network translates molecular dehydration into mesoscale phase separation, yet the role of photoinitiating chemistry in this multiscale process is...
Cavitation initiation and growth are precursors to debonding and failure in soft polymers, yet their links to molecular cohesion and precursor size remain unclear because the operative mechanism depends on precursor size and nature.
Hydrogels are often used as reservoirs for chemicals such as drugs or soil treatments, but they can release their payload much too quickly as they dry out or as solute...
