Abstract Incorporating dynamic bonds into polymers enables static thermosets to be transformed active materials, possessing the reprocessability of thermoplastics while maintaining bulk properties fully crosslinked networks. This new class termed covalent adaptable networks (CANs), has helped bridge gap between traditional and thermoplastics. Here, epoxy-based were synthesized by combining a diepoxide monomer with an oligosiloxane prepolymer containing aminopropyl groups, which crosslink...
We report a human-in-the-loop implementation of the multi-objective experimental design via Bayesian optimization platform (EDBO+) towards butylpyridinium bromide synthesis under continuous flow conditions. The algorithm simultaneously optimized reaction yield and production rate (or space-time yield) generated well defined Pareto front. versatility EDBO+ was demonstrated by expanding space mid-campaign increasing upper temperature limit. Incorporation techniques enabled improved control...
Embedding dynamic covalent bonds into polymer compositions transforms static thermosets active materials with the reprocessability of thermoplastics and bulk properties cross-linked networks. This class next-generation materials, called adaptable networks, shows significant promise in composites, soft optoelectronics, robotics. Herein, we synthesized two oligosiloxane-based epoxy networks that provide fast bond exchange. Oligosiloxane diepoxides were cured stoichiometric amounts...
Achieving adhesive bonding in wet environments remains a significant challenge both day-to-day life and industrial applications. Inspired by how marine shellfish stick to rocks, wide variety of innovative polymer adhesives containing catechol moieties have been developed several research groups. Despite displaying impressive performance, these not yet emerged on the market. Difficulties associated with translating small-scale academic production persisted. In this paper, we focus our...
Wound closure in surgeries is traditionally achieved using invasive methods such as sutures and staples. Adhesion-based wound tissue adhesives, sealants, hemostats are slowly replacing these due to their ease of application. Although several chemistries have been developed used commercially for closure, there still a need better adhesives from the point view toxicity, wet-adhesion strength, long-term bonding. Catechol chemistry has shown great promise developing wet-set that meet criteria....
Covalent organic frameworks were crystallized directly in flow, resulting a substantial decrease required synthesis and processing time for diverse class of nanomaterials.
