AI Article Synopsis
- Sustainable development goals can be supported by creating recyclable and self-healing polymer materials, particularly through a class known as "vitrimers."
- Vitrimers utilize dynamic covalent bonds to allow for bond exchange, which enables them to be both durable and repairable, making them beneficial for industrial applications.
- The article discusses the key properties of fiber-reinforced vitrimer composites—such as their ability to be reprocessed and recycled—as well as their practical uses and potential future advancements.
Article Abstract
To achieve sustainable development goals, approaches towards the preparation of recyclable and healable polymeric materials is highly attractive. Self-healing polymers and thermosets based on bond-exchangeable dynamic covalent bonds, so called "vitrimers" could be a great effort in this direction. In order to match the industrial importance, enhancement of mechanical strength without sacrificing the bond exchange capability is a challenging issue, however, such concerns can be overcome through the developments of fiber-reinforced vitrimer composites. This article covers the outstanding features of fiber-reinforced vitrimer composites, including their reprocessing, recycling and self-healing properties, together with practical applications and future perspectives of this unique class of materials.
