Covalent adaptable networks with associative siloxane exchange enabled by amide-based internal catalysis

Abstract

Provided are siloxane-containing polyamide covalent adaptable networks, methods for synthesizing the networks, and methods for reprocessing the networks. In embodiments, a dynamic siloxane-containing polyamide network comprises a polyamide network, portions of which are covalently linked via dynamic siloxane diamide linkages, each dynamic siloxane diamide linkage comprising a siloxane moiety positioned between two amide moieties and separated from each amide moiety by respective linker groups.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
