Vitrimers – the miracle polymer materials combining the properties of glass and plastic?
Journal Title: CHEMIK nauka-technika-rynek - Year 2015, Vol 69, Issue 7
Abstract
Vitrimers are a new class of polymer materials invented by Ludwik Leibler (Polish-born chemist) and his co-workers from France. This class of polymers has highly desirable properties, combining reparability and malleability at high temperatures with insolubility. These compounds can be understood as strong organic glass formers with covalent networks that are able to change their topology through thermoactivated bond exchange reactions. The transition from the liquid to the solid is reversible and is, in fact, a glass transition. These very sophisticated properties open new areas and possibilities in practical applications. In this article, the Authors described the current state of knowledge about vitrimers and possible explanation of their physico-chemical behavior, properties and also possible applications.
