3D printable polymer foams with tunable expansion and mechanical properties enabled by catalyst-free dynamic covalent chemistry
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
By leveraging dynamic phosphodiester bonds in 3D printed foams, enhanced expansion and strengths are achieved. Dynamic bonds enable higher crosslinking density and improved energy dissipation, resulting in versatile and high-performance materials.

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.
