“…The reversibility of DA reaction is widely applied to the preparation of remarkable polymers. Thermallyreversible DA reactions have been used in numerous studies including polymer synthesis from multifunctional monomers [4,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] or by cross-linking of functional copolymers containing maleimide or furan pendant groups [16][17][18][19][20][21][22], surface modifications [16,23], organic-inorganic polymer hybrids [24,25], reversible crosslinking polymer chains/ gels [5,16,24,26] and remendable/self-healing polymers [11,12,27]. Due to the fact that these reactions can proceed under mild conditions without a catalyst, this makes them attractive for designing covalently reversible bonds in which furan and maleimide functional groups are responsible for association and dissociation [28][29][30][31].…”
