Abstract Stable, tough, and functional adhesion systems are urgently needed for a sustainable society. As resolution, supramolecular scientists have introduced reversible movable crosslinked materials into systems. Reversible crosslinks can repeatedly associate dissociate. Therefore, show self-healing stimuli-responsive properties. Moreover, topological in which the polymer chains penetrate cavities of cyclic molecules. The sliding with deformation enabled achievement showing high toughness...

Both strong and easily dismantlable adhesive systems are required to realize a sustainable society by recovering reusing substrates. Introducing topological cross-links with cyclodextrins (CDs) into adhesives can improve their strength. In this study, we prepared movable cross-linked poly(ethyl acrylate) (PEA-TAcγCD) polymerizable CDs acid-degradable bonds (TAcγCDAAmMe) for both adhesion. The O-amidomethyl bond, which links CD functional group, be degraded mixing Brønsted acid. By combining...

Acrylic adhesive sheets have been used for many applications, from popular seal materials to high-end electrical devices. One of the basic and critical design features adhesives is effective covalent cross-linking superior properties. On other hand, prevents reuse or recycling adhesive.

To achieve a carbon circulation society, petroleum-derived resources must be replaced with cellulose and other bioderived resources. Although serving as filler enhances the mechanical properties of polymeric materials upon mixing, it remains challenge to increase contents fillers while maintaining enhanced properties. Regarding properties, polymer composites containing can usually improved by adding small percentage fillers. Unfortunately, mixing large amounts creates brittle composites....
