Reversible Acrylic Polymers based on Covalent Adaptable Networks

共价自适应网络（CAN）是聚合物科学中的一种新范式，由动态交联组成。虽然最近报道了不同的化学物质，但对这些系统的物理性质的理解是有限的。本研究的最初目的是全面比较同一丙烯酸网络中不同类型的解离或缔合动态交换反应，并严格检查其材料性能，包括流变学，热和机械性能。这些关键知识将用于设计新的可逆丙烯酸聚合物网络，这些网络在使用中作为粘合剂，但可以被触发以提供可逆性并实现材料的再利用-与未来更可持续的循环经济相关。

Covalent Adaptable Networks (CANs) are a new paradigm in polymer science and consist of dynamic crosslinks. Although different chemistries have been recently reported, the understanding of the physical properties of these systems is limited. The initial aim of the research is to comprehensively compare different types of dissociative or associative dynamic exchange reactions in the same acrylic network and critically examine their material performance including rheology, thermal and mechanical properties. This critical knowledge will be used to design new reversible acrylic polymer networks which perform in use as adhesives but can be triggered to provide reversibility and enable re-use of materials - relevant to a future more sustainable circular economy.
