Molecular Insights into Dynamic Relaxation in Vitrimers: Transesterification-Driven Self-Healing at the Atomistic Level
Vitrimers are covalent adaptable networks that combine the structural stability of thermosets with self-healing enabled by dynamic covalent bonds. However, the molecular-level interplay among polymerization, prescribed bond-exchange reactions (BERs), finite-time mechanical relaxation, and nanoscale interfacial recovery...
