Emerging Dynamic Polymers for Sustainable Materials
Source abstract
Abstract
Introducing dynamic chemical bonds into conventional polymers offers a chemical approach to sustainable materials, which is essential for future circular economy. Dynamers, i.e., dynamic polymers, have started to regain momentum with rising attention on plastic recycling, responsive, and sustainable materials in the past decade. This perspective aims at an overview of the historical milestones of dynamers as well as introducing the emerging chemical toolboxes for dynamic polymers by highlighting the state-of-the-art examples at the interfaces of dynamic covalent bonds, noncovalent bonds, and mechanical bonds. An outlook on existing challenges and future opportunities is provided to give insights into the possible future trajectory of this field.
