Scalable synthesis of methacrylate-based vitrimer powders by suspension polymerization

“…2 In contrast, thermosets have a chemically crosslinked network structure and cannot be reshaped or reprocessed once synthesized, but have better mechanical properties and chemical resistance. 3 Recently, new approaches have sought to combine the processability of thermoplastics with the mechanical properties of thermosets through the use of dynamic bonds to yield so-called covalent adaptable networks (CANs). 4–7 When activated, i.e.…”
