Room temperature dynamic polymers based on Diels-Alder chemistry.

Dynamers based on reversible Diels-Alder chemistry have been obtained and shown to undergo dynamic exchange at room temperature. Their study in solution by small-angle neutron scattering indicated the formation of long and highly flexible chains. Polydispersed molecules gave T(g) values below room temperature, permitting the generation of a dynamic elastomer upon introduction of a dynamic cross-linking agent. The use of a system with a low equilibrium constant gives access to materials with interesting self-healing properties.
