Polymer engineering based on reversible covalent chemistry: A promising innovative pathway towards new materials and new functionalities (2018, background): “They combine the merits of the thermodynamically controlled synthesis, reversibility of non-covalent bonds, and the robustness of covalent bonds [25].”
Architecture-transformable polymers: Reshaping the future of stimuli-responsive polymers (2019, background): “The first involves incorporation of dynamic-covalent (DC) bonds that link the segments of polymers [80,81].”
Recoverable and self-healing electromagnetic wave absorbing nanocomposites (2019, background): “reversible chemical covalent bonds in the materials network,[24-27] those chemical interactions include acylhydrazone bonds,[28-30] disulfide bonds,[31,32] boronic ester linkages,[33] diarylbibenzofuranone links,[34] thiuram disulfide units,[35] Diels-Alder reactions,[36] and imine bonds (-CH=N-).”
Using the dynamic bond to access macroscopically responsive structurally dynamic polymers. (2011, background): “Over the past few decades there has been a resurgence of interest in dynamic chemistries where a specific bond (or interaction) can be broken and reformed on exposure to certain environmental factor”
