Packing, Phase Separation and Interface Compatibility in Reversibly Crosslinked Polymers
Abhishek S. Chankapure, Rahul Karmakar, Srikanth Sastry +2
Vitrimers are a class of crosslinked polymer that are capable of undergoing bond exchange reactions, allowing structural reorganization while maintaining overall network integrity.…
Microphase Separation Controls the Dynamics of Associative Vitrimers
Rahul Karmakar, Abhishek S. Chankapure, Srikanth Sastry +2
Vitrimers are a class of polymers characterized by dynamic covalent networks, where specific monomer units, which are know as stickers, form reversible crosslinks that enable netwo…
Rouse Mode Analysis of Chain Relaxation in Reversibly Crosslinked Polymer Melts
Rahul Karmakar, Srikanth Sastry, Sanat K. Kumar +1
Polymer melts with chains undergoing reversible crosslinking have distinctively favorable dynamic properties, e.g., self healing and reprocessability. In these situations there are…
Entropic Cohesion in Vitrimers
Rahul Karmakar, Himanshu, Srikanth Sastry +2
Vitrimers are polymer networks that can undergo bond exchange reactions. They dynamically rearrange their structures while maintaining their overall integrity, thus resulting in un…
