Functional epoxy vitrimers and composites
Abstract
Abstract From cars to airplanes, from household appliances to indoor ornaments, from biomedical devices to factory equipment, epoxy resins have been deeply rooted in modern society. But at the same time, they also bring about a lot of wastes after use due to their insoluble and infusible nature. Vitrimer opens up great opportunities towards to a sustainable society by producing reprocessable epoxies and even thermosets. Epoxy vitrimers are not only the first reported vitrimers, but also the most studied vitrimers. Epoxy vitrimers are reversible covalently crosslinked networks with dynamic covalent bonds, combining excellent mechanic properties of thermosets with reprocessability of thermoplastics. Moreover, the exchangeable network endows vitrimers with excellent reprocessing, self-healing, welding, reshaping and recycling properties. So vitrimers are hopeful to replace traditional thermosets for a wide range of applications in aerospace materials, electronic devices, consumer products of daily life and so on. This review summarizes recent advances in epoxy vitrimer research. The classification and fabrication of epoxy vitrimers and their composites are thoroughly discussed. New properties of epoxy vitrimers brought by the dynamic covalent bonds are also reviewed in-depth. Their potential applications are subsequently explored and summarized.

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.
