Recyclable polymer materials based on thermoreversible photocycloadditions.

设计新的化学平台是一个关键的可持续性需求，这些平台可以很容易地实现设计交联聚合物材料，这些材料可以有效地愈合、（再）加工和回收。该项目旨在发展化学和工程方面的创新概念。研究将集中于进一步开发一种新的化学平台，该平台由华威大学发明（英国申请专利），将光基键合和热触发脱键技术引入广泛的聚合物材料中。该项目将包括：(1)合成一个热可逆小分子构建块库，以获得机理理解并微调键合/脱键参数；(2)用于掺入高分子材料的单体和交联剂化合物的合成及其表征（包括流变性）；(3)探索新的应用潜力，如可回收树脂基3D打印技术。

There is a critical sustainability need to design new chemistry platforms that can be readily implemented to design crosslinked polymer materials that can be effectively healed, (re)processed and recycled. This project will aim to develop innovative concepts in chemistry and engineering. The investigation will focus on further developing a new chemistry platform, invented at the University of Warwick (UK-filed patent), to introduce light-based bonding and thermally triggered debonding into a wide range of polymer materials. The project will involve: (1) the synthesis of a library of thermoreversible small molecule building blocks to gain a mechanistic understanding and to fine-tune bonding/debonding parameters; (2) synthesis of monomer and crosslinker compounds for their incorporation into polymer materials and the characterisation thereof (incl. rheology); (3) exploring new application potential such as in recyclable resin-based 3D printing technologies.
