At first, developed during the second World War II as an alternative for rubber, Polyurethane (PU) has been largely extended in the 50’s as elastomers, coatings, foams and adhesives (Figure 1).1 Today, the continuous improvements of this chemistry and its outstanding [...
Recent attention has been paid to explore new recycling strategies reducing additional treatments to convert the rigid networks into viscolelastic liquids. For example, as described by K. Fukuda and coworkers[11], imine dynamic exchanges can combine both associative (transimination) [...
SPECIFIC POLYMERS is working for years on the development of thermoset resin formulations and corresponding 3-dimensional crosslinked networks. In order to drive our development and to adjust the chemistry to both implementation and final use specifications, [...
Today’s world is going electric. How can we deal without this invention which is now more than ever part of our daily lives? The sustained improvement in performance and price of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have made them the technology of choice for electrical (...
Maleimide-containing polymers are gaining a great deal of attention in both scientific and industrial communities since they can be used in high performance macromolecular systems such as self-healing materials, biological materials, (...
