“Linear viscoelasticity of vitrimer melts”

Vitrimers  are covalently cross-linked polymer networks that are insoluble in good  solvent but still recyclable at elevated temperatures. These  paradoxical traits are enabled by their cross-links, which engage in  dynamic associative exchange reactions. Altering the chemical structure  of the vitrimer cross-linker, backbone, or both modifies flow and  mechanical properties. In this talk, I will discuss our efforts to  experimentally and theoretically illuminate structure-viscoelasticity  relationships for vitrimer melts with cross-link densities well above  the gel point.
