Polymers are divided into two categories: thermoset and thermoplastic. Thermoset polymers cannot be reprocessed and deformed due to their network structure and permanent and rigid crosslinking connections. Vitrimer materials that have been proposed in recent years; In addition to maintaining their network properties at low temperatures, they have the ability to change shape and reprocess at high temperatures. Therefore, the production of Vitrimer materials can be a suitable solution to reduce the amount of plastic waste produced. These materials consist of a dynamic covalent network in which vitrimerization reactions are performed between different functional groups. The basic polymer used...
