Abstract
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomers with high mechanical and healing properties are developed as smart materials for electrical power systems and electronic devices to address electrical or mechanical damage. However, the challenge is to reconcile the conflicting molecular mechanisms of mechanical and healing properties in the development of PDMS elastomers. This study adopts the "rigid-while-flexible" mutual network structure by copolymerizing the rigid polyimide (PI) with flexible segments with dynamic reversible crosslinking designed on the PDMS backbones. This elastomer (designated PSiPI) exhibits high toughness, tensile strength and elongation at break, as well as excellent healing efficiency and recyclability. Moreover, the PSiPI elastomer also exhibits good insulation and corona damage healing properties. Taking advantage of the recyclability and healing properties of PSiPI elastomers, healable superhydrophobic coatings with contact angles greater than 150° have been prepared by compositing PSiPI elastomers with SiO2. Likewise, combining the elastomer with conductive materials can create a healing flexible conductor. This "rigid-while-flexible" design approach provides important inspiration for the development of high-performance, sustainable and environmentally friendly PDMS elastomers for electrical and electronic applications.

Abstract
Interfacial failure in carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy (CFRE) laminates is a prominent mode of failure, attracting significant research attention. The large surface-energy mismatch between carbon fiber (CF) and epoxy results in a weaker interface. This study presents a facile yet effective method for enhancing the interfacial adhesion between CF and epoxy with self-healable interfaces. Two variants of a designer sizing agent, poly(ether imide) (PEI), were synthesized, one without a self-healing property termed BO, and the second one by incorporating disulfide metathesis in one of its monomers that renders self-healing properties at the interface-mediated by network reconfiguration, termed BA. 0.25 wt % of CF was found to be the optimum amount of BO and BA sizing agents. The surface free energy of CF drastically increased and became quite close to the surface energy of epoxy after the deposition of both sizing agents and the higher surface roughness. The improved surface wettability, presence of functional groups, and mechanical interlocking worked in tandem to strengthen the interface. The interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and flexural strength (FS) of CFRE laminate sized with BO consequently increased by 35% and 22% and of CFRE laminate sized with BA increased by 26% and 19%, respectively. Fractography analysis revealed outstanding bonding between epoxy and PEI-CF, indicating that matrix fracture is the predominant mode of failure. The self-healable interfaces due to the preinstalled disulfide metathesis in the sizing agent resulted in 51% self-healing efficiency in ILSS for BA-sized CFRE laminate. Interestingly, the functional properties, deicing, and EMI shielding effectiveness were not compromised by modification of the interface with this designer sizing agent. This study opens new avenues for interfacial modification to improve the mechanical properties while retaining the key functional properties of the laminates.

Abstract
Carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy (CFRE) laminates have attracted significant attention as a structural material specifically in the aerospace industry. In recent times, various strategies have been developed to modify the carbon fiber (CF) surface as the interface between the epoxy matrix and CFs plays a pivotal role in determining the overall performance of CFRE laminates. In the present work, graphene oxide (GO) was used to tag a polyetherimide (PEI, termed BA) containing exchangeable bonds and was employed as a sizing agent to improve the interfacial adhesion between CFs and epoxy. This unique GO-tagged-BA sizing agent termed BAGO significantly enhanced the mechanical properties of CFRE laminates by promoting stronger interactions between CFs and the epoxy matrix. The successful synthesis of BAGO was verified by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Additionally, the partial reduction of GO owing to this tagging with BA was further confirmed by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, and the thermal stability of this unique sizing agent was evaluated using thermogravimetric analysis. The amount of GO in BAGO was optimized as 0.25 wt% of BA termed 0.25-BAGO. The 0.25-BAGO sizing agent resulted in a significant increase in surface roughness, from 15 nm to 140 nm, and surface energy, from 13.2 to 34.7 mN m-1 of CF. The laminates prepared from 0.25-BAGO exhibited a remarkable 40% increase in flexural strength (FS) and a 35% increase in interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) due to interfacial strengthening between epoxy and CFs. In addition, these laminates exhibited a self-healing efficiency of 51% in ILSS due to the presence of dynamic disulfide bonds in BAGO. Interestingly, the laminates with 0.25-BAGO exhibited enhanced Joule heating and enhanced deicing, though the EMI shielding efficiency slightly declined.

Abstract
Polymeric materials are ubiquitous to modern life. However, reliance of petroleum for polymeric building blocks is not sustainable. The synthesis of macromolecules from recalcitrant polymer waste feedstocks, such as plastic waste and lignocellulosic biomass, presents an opportunity to bypass the use of petroleum-based feedstocks. However, the deconstruction and transformation of these alternative feedstocks remained limited until recently. Herein, we highlight examples of monomers liberated from the deconstruction of recalcitrant polymers, and more extensively, we showcase the state-of-the-art in biocatalytic technologies that are enabling synthesis of diverse upcycled monomeric starting materials for a wide variety of macromolecules. Overall, this review emphasizes the importance of functional group interconversion as a promising strategy by which biocatalysis can aid the diversification and upcycling of monomers.

Abstract
Colorless and transparent polyimide (CPI) films with good atomic oxygen (AO) resistance and high thermal endurance are highly required in low earth orbit (LEO) space exploration. Conventional CPI films based on fluoro-containing 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (6FDA) have been widely used in space applications. However, the AO erosion yields and glass transition temperatures (Tg) of the 6FDA-based CPI films have to be modified in order to meet the severe serving environments. In the current work, novel CPI films based on a multi-ring fluoro-containing 9,9-bis(trifluoromethyl)xanthene-2,3,6,7-tetracarboxylicdianhydride (6FCDA) monomer were developed. In order to enhance the AO resistance of the derived CPI film, a phosphorus-containing aromatic diamine, 2,5-bis[(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl]diphenylphosphine oxide (BADPO) was used to polymerize with the dianhydride to create the organo-soluble resin. Then, two phosphorus-containing CPI films (PPI), including PPI-1 (6FDA-BADPO) and PPI-2 (6FCDA-BADPO) were prepared by thermally curing of the PPI solutions at elevated temperatures. The PPI films maintained good optical transparency with transmittance values over 80% at a wavelength of 450 nm. PPI-2 exhibited a Tg value of 311.0 °C by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurement, which was 46.7 °C higher than that of the PPI-1 counterpart (Tg = 264.3 °C). In addition, the PPI-2 film showed a coefficient of linear thermal expansion (CTE) value of 41.7 × 10-6/K in the range of 50~250 °C, which was apparently lower than that of the PPI-1 sample (CTE = 49.2 × 10-6/K). Lastly, both of the two PPI films exhibited good AO resistance with the erosion yields (Ey) of 6.99 × 10-25 cm3/atom for PPI-1 and 7.23 × 10-25 cm3/atom for PPI-2 at an exposure flux of 5.0 × 1020 atoms/cm2. The Ey values of the current PPI films were obviously lower than that of the standard polyimide (PI) film based on pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and 4,4'-oxydianiline (ODA) (Ey = 3.0 × 10-24 cm3/atom).

Abstract
Polyimide is actively applied in various industrial fields because of its strong mechanical properties, owing to the interactions between the polymer chains. Fully aromatic imide structures exhibit high glass-transition temperatures due to the strong interactions between their chains, which hinder chain mobility. Therefore, preparing a material that exhibits self-healing at a low temperature of ≤100 °C and good mechanical properties is challenging. Thus, we prepared imides with four-component semiaromatic structures by adjusting the contents of 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride and 4,4'-(4,4'-isopropylidenediphenoxy)bis(phthalic anhydride) to yield four-component self-healable colorless polyimides (f-SH-CPIs) with novel structures, flexibilities, good mechanical properties, and low healing temperatures. The flexibilities and distances between the polymer chains, as the basis of the trade-off relationship between the mechanical properties and healing efficiency, were controlled. These materials may be used as substrates in wearable devices and multilayer insulation that may protect from space dust, cosmic rays, and satellite fragments.

Abstract
Polyimides (PIs) are widely used in circuit components, electrical insulators, and power systems in modern electronic devices and large electrical appliances. Electrical/mechanical damage of materials are important factors that threaten reliability and service lifetime. Dynamic (self-healable, recyclable and degradable) PIs, a promising class of materials that successfully improve electrical/mechanical properties after damage, are anticipated to solve this issue. The viewpoints and perspectives on the status and future trends of dynamic PI based on a few existing documents are shared. The main damage forms of PI dielectric materials in the application process are first introduced, and initial strategies and schemes to solve these problems are proposed. Fundamentally, the bottleneck issues faced by the development of dynamic PIs are indicated, and the relationship between various damage forms and the universality of the method is evaluated. The potential mechanism of the dynamic PI to deal with electrical damage is highlighted and several feasible prospective schemes to address electrical damage are discussed. This study is concluded by presenting a short outlook and future improvements to systems, challenges, and solutions of dynamic PI in electrical insulation. The summary of theory and practice should encourage policy development favoring energy conservation and environmental protection and promoting sustainability.

Abstract
Organic persistent luminescence (pL) systems with photoresponsive dynamic features have valuable applications in the fields of data encryption, anticounterfeiting, and bioimaging. Photoinduced radical luminescent materials have a unique luminous mechanism with the potential to achieve dynamic pL. It is extremely challenging to obtain radical pL under ambient conditions; on account of it, it is unstable in air. Herein, a new semialiphatic polyimide-based polymer (A0) is developed, which can achieve dynamic pL through reversible conversion of radical under photoexcitation. A "joint-donor-spacer-acceptor" molecular design strategy is applied to effectively modulate the intramolecular charge-transfer and charge-transfer complex interactions, resulting in effective protection of the radical generated under photoirradiation. Meanwhile, polyimide-based polymers of A1-A4 are obtained by doping different amine-containing fluorescent dyes to modulate the dynamic afterglow color from green to red via the triplet to singlet Förster resonance energy-transfer pathway. Notably, benefiting from the structural characteristics of the polyimide-based polymer, A0-A4 have excellent processability, thermal stability, and mechanical properties and can be applied directly in extreme environments such as high temperatures and humidity.

Abstract
Dielectric polyimides (PIs) are ubiquitous as insulation in electrical power systems and electronic devices. Generally, dynamic polyimide is required to solve irreversible failure processes of electrical or mechanical damage, for example, under high temperature, pressure, and field strength. The challenge lies in the design of the molecular structure of rigid polyimide to achieve dynamic reversibility. Herein, a low-molecular-weight polyimide gene unit is designed to crosslink with polyimide ligase to prepare the smart film. Interestingly, due to the variability of gene unit and ligase combinations, the polyimide films combining hardness with softness are designed into three forms via a "Mimosa-like" bionic strategy to adapt to different application scenarios. Meanwhile, the films have good degradation efficiency, excellent recyclability, and can be self-healable, which makes them reuse. Clearly, the films can be used in the preparation of ultrafast sensors with a response time ≈0.15 s and the application of corona-resistant films with 100% recovery. Furthermore, the construction of polyimide and carbon-fiber-reinforced composites (CFRCs) has been verified to apply to the worse environment. Nicely, the composites have the property of multiple cycles and the non-destructive recycle rate of carbon fiber (CF) is as high as 100%. The design idea of preparing high-strength dynamic polyimide by crosslinking simple polyimide gene unit with ligase could provide a good foundation and a clear case for the sustainable development of electrical and electronic polyimides, from the perspective of Mimosa bionics.

Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the recent progress in research and development dealing with polymers derived from plant oils. It highlights the widening interest in novel approaches to the synthesis, characterization, and properties of these materials from renewable resources and emphasizes their growing impact on sustainable macromolecular science and technology. The monomers used include unmodified triglycerides, their fatty acids or the corresponding esters, and chemically modified triglycerides and fatty acid esters. Comonomers include styrene, divinylbenzene, acrylics, furan derivatives, epoxides, etc. The synthetic pathways adopted for the preparation of these materials are very varied, going from traditional free radical and cationic polymerizations to polycondensation reactions, as well as metatheses and Diels-Alder syntheses. In addition to this general appraisal, the specific topic of the use of tung oil as a source of original polymers, copolymers, and (nano)composites is discussed in greater detail in terms of mechanisms, structures, properties, and possible applications.

Abstract
The use of rheology and terminal flow relaxation times to predict healing behavior at long healing times is by now quite well accepted. In this work we go one step further and explore the use of macro-rheology (in particular the stored work of deformation) to predict the early stage interfacial healing properties (fracture resistance) of a set of self-healing polyurethanes. The interfacial healing is measured by single edge notch fracture experiments, using short healing times and a low healing temperature to exclude the effect of long range molecular motion on mechanical properties restoration. The systems based on aromatic diisocyanates show high fracture resistance after healing, while very limited restoration of the mechanical properties is observed for aliphatic and cycloaliphatic based polyurethanes. Linear sweep rheology and time-temperature-superposition allow obtaining the macro-rheological master curve and the mechanical relaxation spectra (H(t)). The application of a recently established deconvolution protocol to the H(t) gives the characteristic relaxation times and stored works of deformation associated to individual dynamic processes such as segmental motion, reversible bonds, and terminal flow. It is found that the calculated stored works of deformation related to the reversible bond relaxation reproduce the trend observed by fracture resistance at healed interfaces and reveal a qualitative correspondence between reversible bonds work of deformation and interfacial healing fracture resistance. Moreover, the method seems to point to the existence of a threshold interfacial work of deformation below which no efficient load transfer can be observed.

Preparation and Characterization of Semi-alicyclic Polyimides Containing Trifluoromethyl Groups for Optoelectronic Application. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12071532.

Abstract
Transparent polyimides (PI) films with outstanding overall performance are attractive for next generation optoelectronic and microelectronic applications. Semi-alicyclic PIs derived from alicyclic dianhydrides and aromatic diamines have proved effective to prepare transparent PIs with high transmittance. To optimize the combined properties of semi-alicyclic PIs, incorporating bulky trifluoromethyl groups into the backbones is regarded as a powerful tool. However, the lack of fundamental understanding of structure–property relationships of fluorinated semi-alicyclic PIs constrains the design and engineering of advanced films for such challenging applications. Herein, a series of semi-alicyclic PIs derived from alicyclic dianhydrides and trifluoromethyl-containing aromatic diamines was synthesized by solution polycondensation at high temperature. The effects of alicyclic structures and bulky trifluoromethyl groups on thermal, dielectric and optical properties of PIs were investigated systematically. These PI films had excellent solubility, low water absorption and good mechanical property. They showed high heat resistance with Tg in the range of 294–390 °C. It is noted that tensile strength and thermal stability were greatly affected by the rigid linkages and alicyclic moieties, respectively. These films exhibited obviously low refractive indices and significantly reduced dielectric constants from 2.61 to 2.76, together with low optical birefringence and dielectric anisotropy. Highly transparent films exhibited cutoff wavelength even as low as 298 nm and transmittance at 500 nm over 85%, displaying almost colorless appearance with yellowness index (b*) below 4.2. The remarkable optical improvement should be mainly ascribed to both weak electron-accepting alicyclic units and bulky electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl or sulfone groups. The present work provides an effective strategy to design molecular structures of optically transparent PIs for a trade-off between solution-processability, low water uptake, good toughness, high heat resistance, low dielectric constant and excellent optical transparency.

Abstract
Self-assembling polyimides (PIs) having diketopiperazine (DKP) components were synthesized by polycondensation of a 4-amino-l-phenylalanine (4APhe) dimer, an aromatic diamine newly designed in this study. The amino acid-derived PIs showed high thermal resistance, with a 10% weight loss temperature (T d10) of 432 °C at the maximum, and did not show any glass transition below the thermal decomposition temperature. The poly(amic acid) (PAA) precursors formed nanospheres upon reprecipitation over dimethylacetamide into water. The nanospheres were then added to solvents with different polarities and sonicated to induce deformation of the spherical forms into spiky balls, flakes, or rods. The PAA particle morphologies were retained in the PIs after the two-step imidization. Finally, the PI particles with self-assembling DKP moieties were formed, and their morphologies were fine-tuned using different mixed solvents.

Reduced Coefficients of Linear Thermal Expansion of Colorless and Transparent Semi-Alicyclic Polyimide Films via Incorporation of Rigid-Rod Amide Moiety: Preparation and Properties.

Abstract
Semi-alicyclic colorless and transparent polyimide (CPI) films usually suffer from the high linear coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) due to the intrinsic thermo-sensitive alicyclic segments in the polymers. A series of semi-alicyclic CPI films containing rigid-rod amide moieties were successfully prepared in the current work in order to reduce the CTEs of the CPI films while maintaining their original optical transparency and solution-processability. For this purpose, two alicyclic dianhydrides, hydrogenated pyromellitic anhydride (HPMDA, I), and hydrogenated 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (HBPDA, II) were polymerized with two amide-bridged aromatic diamines, 2-methyl-4,4'-diaminobenzanilide (MeDABA, a) and 2-chloro-4,4'-diaminobenzanilide (ClDABA, b) respectively to afford four CPI resins. The derived CPI resins were all soluble in polar aprotic solvents, including N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc). Flexible and tough CPI films were successfully prepared by casing the PI solutions onto glass substrates followed by thermally cured at elevated temperatures from 80 °C to 250 °C. The MeDABA derived PI-Ia (HPMDA-MeDABA) and PI-IIa (HBPDA-MeDABA) exhibited superior optical transparency compared to those derived from ClDABA (PI-Ib and PI-IIb). PI-Ia and PI-IIa showed the optical transmittances of 82.3% and 85.8% at the wavelength of 400 nm with a thickness around 25 μm, respectively. Introduction of rigid-rod amide moiety endowed the HPMDA-PI films good thermal stability at elevated temperatures with the CTE values of 33.4 × 10-6/K for PI-Ia and 27.7 × 10-6/K for PI-Ib in the temperature range of 50-250 °C. Comparatively, the HBPDA-PI films exhibited much higher CTE values. In addition, the HPMDA-PI films exhibited good thermal stability with the 5% weight loss temperatures (T5%) higher than 430 °C and glass transition temperatures (Tg) in the range of 349-351 °C.

Abstract
Current regulations demand tires with long lifetime and reduced fuel consumption without sacrificing car safety. However, tire technology still needs to reach a suitable balance between these three indicators. Here, we address them by developing a self-healing tire compound using styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) as the matrix and reclaimed tire waste as the sustainable filler. The addition of ground tire rubber (GTR) to the matrix simultaneously improved the rolling resistance and maintained both wet grip and healing ability. We provide an in-depth analysis of the healing behavior of the material at a scale close to the relevant molecular processes through a systematic dynamic-mechanical and dielectric analysis. We found that SBR and SBR/GTR compounds show a complete recovery of stiffness and relaxation dynamics after being damaged by cyclic deformation, resulting in a heterogeneous repaired rubber network. This new development could well overcome the so-called magic triangle of tires, which is certainly one of the key objectives of the tire industry.

Abstract
Starting from experimental macro-rheological data, we develop a fitting protocol that succeeded in the separation of the overlapping relaxation phenomena in the dissipative regime for a set of intrinsic healing polymers healing most effectively near their glass transition temperature Tg. To allow for a proper deconvolution, the rheological master curves are converted to a relaxation spectrum (H(τ)) and this is fitted using an optimized mechanical model, e.g. the Maxwell-Weichert model. The deconvolution of overlapping segmental mobility and reversible interactions is successfully demonstrated for a set of polyimide and polyamide polymers containing none, one and two reversible dynamic features near-Tg. Through the fitting parameters, the relaxation timescale of each feature and their apparent process enthalpies are obtained. The quantitative data obtained using the fitting protocol are then compared to macroscopic healing results. As a result, a clear correspondence between the energy stored by the system to accomplish reversible (e.g. H-bonds, π-π) and chain interdiffusion relaxation transitions and the healing efficiency of such polymers are obtained. The implementation of this protocol allows for a clearer identification of the relevant mechanisms in self-healing polymers and paves the way for the development of more efficiently healable polymeric systems.

Abstract
In this work, hydrogenated bisphenol A (HBPA) based dinitro mixed isomers (1a′ and 1a) were synthesized and separated via vacuum distillation under the monitor of DSC and 1H NMR. Corresponding diamines (2a′ and 2a) were separately polycondensed with five commercial dianhydrides via a two-step thermal imidization to obtain PI-(1′-5′) and PI-(1-5). All the polyimides could afford flexible, tough, and transparent films, and most of them were readily soluble not only in common polar solvents like DMAc, but also in low boiling point solvents such as chloroform. 1H NMR spectra of the polyimides demonstrated that HBPA moiety showed no conformation changes during the preparation of polymers. For a given dianhydride, PI-(1-5) exhibited better thermal stability than that of PI-(1′-5′), this can be attributed that the equatorial, equatorial C–O in PI-(1-5) promoted denser and more regular molecular chain stacking, as can be evidenced by the WAXD and geometric optimization results. Additionally, when the dianhydride was ODPA, BPADA or 6FDA, no apparent difference was found in either the transmittance or solubility between two series of polyimides, which could be attributed that twisted and flexible ether linkages, as well as bulky substituents, led to the “already weakened” inter- and intramolecular CT interaction and cohesive force. However, when it came to rigid and stiff dianhydride, e.g., BPDA, PI-3′ took an obvious advantage over PI-3 in transmittance and solubility, which was possibly owed to the larger molecular chain d-spacing imparted by equatorial, axial C–O. An overall investigation of PI-(1′-5′) and PI-(1-5) on aspects of thermal, mechanical, morphological, soluble and optical performance values was carried out, and the conformation effects of HBPA isomers on the properties of two series of polyimides were discussed in detail.

Abstract
Vitrimers are covalent network materials, comparable in structure to classical thermosets. Unlike normal thermosets, they possess a chemical bond swap mechanism that makes their structure dynamic and suitable for activated welding and even autonomous self-healing. The central question in designing such materials is the trade-off between autonomy and material stability: the swap mechanism facilitates the healing, but it also facilitates creep, which makes the perfectly stable self-healing solid a hard goal to reach. Here, we address this question for the case of self-healing vitrimers made from star polymers. Using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, we studied the adhesion of two vitrimer samples and found that they bond together on timescales that are much shorter than the stress relaxation time. We showed that the swap mechanism allows the star polymers to diffuse through the material through coordinated swap events, but the healing process is much faster and does not depend on this mobility.

Abstract
We present a systematic study of the role of the aromatic dianhydride structure on the self-healing behavior of dimer diamine-based polyimides. By means of solid-state NMR and rheology, we studied the molecular and microscale dynamics of four polyimides comprising the same aliphatic branched diamine yet with variable dianhydride rigidities and correlated these to their macroscopic healing kinetics measured by tensile testing. Following the two-step kinetics of the healing process, we were able to differentiate and quantify the extent of mechanical strength recovery in each of the healing stages separately. Moreover, the detailed rheology and solid-state NMR allowed us to shed light on the role of the aromatic interactions and branches on the mechanical properties and mechanical integrity during macroscopic healing. The study reveals the relevance and interplay of primary and secondary interactions in the development of non-cross-linked strong and healing polymers able to maintain mechanical integrity during healing.
