Malleable and Recyclable Thermosets: The Next Generation of Plastics
Open accessAbstract
Summary Malleable thermosets are crosslinked polymers containing dynamic covalent bonds, which can be reversibly cleaved and reformed. They have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their combined advantages of thermosets and thermoplastics. They have excellent mechanical properties and thermal and chemical stabilities like traditional thermosets yet are reprocessable and recyclable like thermoplastics. Although the chemical composition plays an important role in determining the mechanical and thermal properties of materials, the application of dynamic covalent chemistry is the key to achieving the unique properties of malleable thermosets. The mechanism of reversible bond cleavage and reformation, bond activation energies and kinetics, and the conditions triggering such reversibility define the malleable properties of the materials, how and why they can be reprocessed, and when the materials fail. In this review, we introduce fundamental concepts and principles of malleable thermosets, dynamic covalent chemistry, and the characteristic materials properties, including reprocessability, rehealability, and possible recyclability. We categorize the recent literature examples based on the underlying chemistry to demonstrate how dynamic covalent chemistry is exploited in malleable thermosets and how their malleable properties can be achieved and altered; we also discuss intriguing future opportunities based on such exploitation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
