Polyoxometalates-Driven Oxidative Polymerization of Thioctic Acid and Synchronized Noncovalent Cross-Linking to Generate High-Strength and Colorimetric Adhesives.

Polythioctic acid (PTA) and its derivatives carrying disulfide bonds within the polymer backbone have emerged as leading candidates for yielding degradable and recyclable polymers. However, their development has been impeded by the persistent trade-off between degradability and mechanical strength, as well as the lack...
