Abstract
Dynamic cross-linking has provided versatile and affordable solutions for the design of strong and recyclable elastomers. However, because of their complex recycling process and low cross-linking bond energy, few types of them were commercialized. Inspired by the Ziegler–Natta catalytic mechanism, the authors report a facile approach for the design of recyclable and strong elastomers by using cation-alkene complexes as the stimuli-reversible and high-energy cross-linking points. These supramolecular cross-linked elastomers are a class of infusible and insoluble soft polymers with unprecedented tensile strength and ductility. The energetic cross-linking points can be local and, overall, can be reversibly released and reconstructed by facile manipulation, conferring these elastomers with multiple stimuli-responsive functions, such as recyclability, self-healing, and adhesion properties, as well as can be used as new wear-resistant materials.
