A series of glucose‐based degradable superabsorbent hydrogels with potential to tackle issues associated with sustainability, flooding, and drought has been designed and fabricated. These hydrophilic networks were constructed through integrating glucose as a primary building block –into cyclic oligomers and block polymers, which were combined into mechanically‐interlocked slide‐ring crosslinked materials. Crosslinking of slide ring α‐cyclodextrin/poly(ethylene glycol)‐type polyrotaxanes with acid‐functionalized ABA triblock copolymers comprised of mercaptopropionic acid‐functionalized poly(glucose carbonate (ethyl propargyl carbonate))‐

Abstract b ‐poly(ethylene glycol)‐b ‐mercaptopropionic acid‐functionalized poly(glucose carbonate (ethyl propargyl carbonate)), afforded degradable superabsorbent hydrogels through establishment of chemically‐labile ester linkages, in addition to glycosidic and carbonate groups of the polymer precursors. With an emphasis on development of fundamental synthetic design strategies to achieve high‐performance superabsorbent hydrogels that could behave as robust materials, which are derived from natural components and exhibit hydrolytic degradability, effort went into optimization of the composition, structure, and topology leading to water uptake capacities >30× by mass. Investigations of composition‐structure‐topology‐morphology effects on properties as a function of variations of PEG main chain length, degree of α‐cyclodextrin coverage, and concentration of pre‐gel solution, indicated that the slide‐ring polymer and triblock copolymer networks feature high water uptake, tunable mechanical properties, and sustainability with construction from renewable natural products and in‐built degradability. -

Abstract Polymer networks containing dynamic covalent bonds do not exhibit traditional thermoset material properties. Such dynamic covalent networks have the ability to undergo stress relaxation processes associated with dynamic covalent bond exchange, imparting these materials with adaptive/responsive properties. Reported herein is an investigation on the effect that changing the amount of dynamic hindered alkylurea bonds has on the viscoelastic behavior of a series of poly(alkylurea‐
co ‐urethane) networks prepared by reacting a trifunctional isocyanate crosslinker with varying ratios of anN ‐isopropyl amine endcapped poly(propylene glycol) and a poly(propylene glycol). Films that contain >50% dynamic alkylurea bonds (wrt. alkylurea + urethane bonds) exhibit facile reprocessability, while those films with <50% dynamic alkylurea bonds exhibit poor reprocessability under these same conditions. Analysis of the temperature‐dependent shear rheometry and uniaxial stress relaxation measurements demonstrates that the primary stress relaxation mode in these materials is linked to the dynamic bond exchange process. Interestingly, these films exhibit an increasingly rich viscoelastic spectrum with increasing fraction of non‐dynamic urethane bonds. In addition to the primary relaxation process an order‐of‐magnitude slower relaxation emerges, which is identified as being related to the relaxation of larger, permanently crosslinked polymeric clusters in an otherwise dynamic matrix. -

Abstract Hydroxyl‐terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) is found in many applications due to its ease of manufacturing, useful mechanical properties over a wide temperature range, and reactive hydroxyl chain ends. Typically, HTPB is crosslinked with isocyanates to form polyurethane thermosets. Limitations of this approach include the use of toxic isocyanates and the oxidative instability of backbone alkenes. In this work, saturated HTPB is used to form reprocessable covalent adaptable networks that are capable of stress relaxation and reprocessing, without relying on isocyanates or unstable alkenes. This approach introduces dynamic chemistry to the HTPB network via chain extension and subsequent crosslinking with 4‐methyl caprolactone (4mCL) and a novel bislactone crosslinker. Using benzenesulfonic acid (BSA) as a transesterification catalyst, stress relaxation times range from 150 to 8 min at temperatures of 70 to 100 °C. Despite crosslinking, these networks behave elastically, as evidenced by strain‐at‐break values of 93% for pristine samples, and dynamically, as shown by a strain‐at‐break of 72% after reprocessing the damaged samples. Shape reprogramming is also demonstrated by straining the crosslinked networks and heating to elevated temperatures where bond exchange occurs. These findings illustrate the advantageous properties that can be achieved by using cheap commodity building blocks to achieve dynamic properties. We anticipate that valorizing commodity polymers into reprocessable thermosets will be of utility in applications that lack other viable recycling pathways.

ABSTRACT A series of Diels–Alder (DA) crosslinked polymethacrylate networks covering a broad range of glass‐transition temperatures (
T g) was prepared to establish the relationship between theT gand the thermal decrosslinking behavior of these networks. A series of permanently crosslinked and uncrosslinked analogues were also prepared to better understand the thermoset‐to‐thermoplastic transition occurring in the DA networks at elevated temperatures. The network series were studied using dynamic mechanical analysis, which established an inverse relationship betweenT gand decrosslinking ability. Differential scanning calorimetry confirmed the viability of the DA linkages in all formulations, and a trapping experiment with 9‐anthracenemethanol demonstrated that even the least responsive network was capable of undergoing decrosslinking given appropriate thermal treatment. While polymer chain mobility has long been understood to be a critical factor in healable materials, this work verifies the importance of this parameter in the decrosslinking of DA networks. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

ABSTRACT Carbohydrates are the fundamental building blocks of many natural polymers, their wide bioavailability, high chemical functionality, and stereochemical diversity make them attractive starting materials for the development of new synthetic polymers. In this work, one such carbohydrate,
d ‐glucopyranoside, was utilized to produce a hydrophobic five‐membered cyclic carbonate monomer to afford sugar‐based amphiphilic copolymers and block copolymers via organocatalyzed ring‐opening polymerizations with 4‐methylbenzyl alcohol and methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) as initiator and macroinitiator, respectively. To modulate the amphiphilicities of these polymers acidic benzylidene cleavage reactions were performed to deprotect the sugar repeat units and present hydrophilic hydroxyl side chain groups. Assembly of the polymers under aqueous conditions revealed interesting morphological differences, based on the polymer molar mass and repeat unit composition. The initial polymers, prior to the removal of the benzylidenes, underwent a morphological change from micelles to vesicles as the sugar block length was increased, causing a decrease in the hydrophilic–hydrophobic ratio. Deprotection of the sugar block increased the hydrophilicity and gave micellar morphologies. This tunable polymeric platform holds promise for the production of advanced materials for implementation in a diverse range of applications. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.
