Abstract
The disclosure provides for dynamic thermosetting polymers comprising boroxine crosslinks that exhibit unusual mechanical behavior by being strong, highly malleable, recyclable and fully reprocessable. The disclosure further provides methods of making the thermosetting polymers and applications thereof.
Claims20
A dynamic thermosetting polymer comprising:
- a plurality of boroxine crosslinks having the structure of:
- formed from monomers comprising boronic acid groups, or formed from polymers comprising boronic acid groups;
- optionally, the dynamic thermosetting polymer further comprises one or more comonomers;
- optionally, the dynamic thermosetting polymer further comprises one or more plasticizers;
- wherein the dynamic thermosetting polymer is malleable, can be recycled back to monomers, and/or is capable of being reprocessed.
