Abstract
Acid-base catalysis is a common strategy to induce covalent bond exchanges in dynamic polymer networks. Strong acids or strong bases can promote rapid network rearrangements, and are simultaneously preferred catalysts for chemical reactions where maximum efficiency at the lowest possible temperature is aimed for. However, within the context of dynamic polymer networks, the incorporation of highly active catalysts can negatively affect the longer term application potential. Network dynamicity can diminish through catalyst ageing or quenching and highly active catalysts may prematurely activate bond exchanges, leading to dimensional instability and thus low creep resistance of the polymer networks. Herein, we present several examples where we explicitly explored weak acids (carboxylic acids) as catalysts for dynamic bond exchanges, using vinylogous urethanes (VU) as a well-understood protic acid catalysed vitrimer chemistry. Surprisingly, we have found that the sought-after long-term stability offered by a weak acid does not necessarily bring lower activity at high temperature. In fact, the weak acids show a remarkable thermoswitchable catalytic behaviour, going from an inactive hydrogen bonded state to an active state where the polymer matrix is protonated, with a profound impact on the network reactivity and rheology. Carboxylic acids with different electronic or steric environments show clear reactivity trends and their fine-tuning resulted in the most thermally responsive VU vitrimers studied to date. Our findings point out that catalyst choice and design for vitrimers is only poorly informed by catalyst performance in more traditional chemical reactions (in solvent), and that a more tailored catalyst design holds great promise for the field of vitrimers.

Vinylogous Urea-Urethane Vitrimers: Accelerating and Inhibiting Network Dynamics through Hydrogen Bonding. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202318412.

Abstract
Vinylogous urethane (VUO ) based polymer networks are widely used as catalyst-free vitrimers that show rapid covalent bond exchange at elevated temperatures. In solution, vinylogous ureas (VUN ) undergo much faster bond exchange than VUO and are highly dynamic at room temperature. However, this difference in reactivity is not observed in their respective dynamic polymer networks, as VUO and VUN vitrimers prepared herein with very similar macromolecular architectures show comparable stress relaxation and creep behavior. However, by using mixtures of VUO and VUN linkages within the same network, the dynamic reactions can be accelerated by an order of magnitude. The results can be rationalized by the effect of intermolecular hydrogen bonding, which is absent in VUO vitrimers, but is very pronounced for vinylogous urea moieties. At low concentrations of VUN , these hydrogen bonds act as catalysts for covalent bond exchange, while at high concentration, they provide a pervasive vinylogous urea - urethane (VU) network of strong non-covalent interactions, giving rise to phase separation and inhibiting polymer chain dynamics. This offers a straightforward design principle for dynamic polymer materials, showing at the same time the possible additive and synergistic effects of supramolecular and dynamic covalent polymer networks.

Abstract
Pluripotency, which is defined as a system not fixed as to its developmental potentialities, is typically associated with biology and stem cells. Inspired by this concept, we report synthetic polymers that act as a single "pluripotent" feedstock and can be differentiated into a range of materials that exhibit different mechanical properties, from hard and brittle to soft and extensible. To achieve this, we have exploited dynamic covalent networks that contain labile, dynamic thia-Michael bonds, whose extent of bonding can be thermally modulated and retained through tempering, akin to the process used in metallurgy. In addition, we show that the shape memory behavior of these materials can be tailored through tempering and that these materials can be patterned to spatially control mechanical properties.

Abstract
A suite of phase separated dynamic covalent networks based on highly tunable dynamic benzalcyanoacetate (BCA) thia-Michael acceptors are investigated. In situ kinetic studies on small molecule model systems are used in conjunction with macroscopic characterization of phase stability and stress relaxation to understand how the molecular dynamics relate to relaxation modes. Electronic modification of the BCA unit strongly impacts the exchange dynamics (particularly the rate of dissociation) and the overall equilibrium constant (Keq) of the system, with electron-withdrawing groups leading to decreased dissociation rate and increased Keq. Critically, below a chemistry-defined temperature cutoff (related to the stability of the hard phase domains), the stress relaxation behavior of these phase separated materials is dominated by the molecular exchange dynamics, allowing for networks with a tailored thermomechanical response.

Abstract
Frictional network formation has become a new paradigm for understanding the non-Newtonian shear-thickening behavior of dense suspensions. Recent studies have exclusively focused on interparticle friction that instantaneously vanishes when applied shear is ceased. Herein, we investigate a friction that emerges from dynamic chemical bridging of functionalized particle surfaces sheared into close proximity. This enables tailoring of both friction magnitude and the time release of the frictional coupling. The experiments use dense suspensions of thiol-functionalized particles suspended in ditopic polymers endcapped with benzalcyanoacetamide Michael-acceptors. The subsequent room temperature, catalyst-free dynamic thia-Michael reactions can form bridging interactions between the particles with dynamic covalent bonds that linger after formation and release in the absence of shear. This chemical friction mimics physical friction but is stickier, leading to tunable rheopexy. The effect of sticky friction on dense suspension rheology is explored by varying the electronic nature of the benzalcyanoacetamide moiety, the molecular weight of the ditopic polymers, the amount of a competitive bonding compound, and temperature. These results demonstrate how dynamic-bond-induced sticky friction can be used to systematically control the time dependence of the non-Newtonian suspension rheology.

Abstract
Phase separation phenomena have been studied widely in the field of polymer science, and were recently also reported for dynamic polymer networks (DPNs). The mechanisms of phase separation in dynamic polymer networks are of particular interest as the reversible nature of the network can participate in the structuring of the micro- and macroscale domains. In this review, we highlight the underlying mechanisms of phase separation in dynamic polymer networks, distinguishing between supramolecular polymer networks and covalent adaptable networks (CANs). Also, we address the synergistic effects between phase separation and reversible bond exchange. We furthermore discuss the effects of phase separation on the material properties, and how this knowledge can be used to enhance and tune material properties.

Abstract
Covalent adaptable networks (CANs) can replace classical thermosets, as their unique dynamic covalent bonds enable recyclable crosslinked polymers. Their creep susceptibility, however, hampers their application. Herein, an efficient strategy to enhance creep resistance of CANs via metal coordination to dynamic covalent imines is demonstrated. Crucially, the coordination bonds not only form additional crosslinks, but also affect the imine exchange. This dual effect results in enhanced glass transition temperature (Tg ), elasticmodulus (G') and creep resistance. The robustness of metal coordination is demonstrated by varying metal ion, counter anion, and coordinating imine ligand. All variations in metal or anion significantly enhance the material properties. The Tg and G' of the CANs are correlated to the coordination bond strength, offering a tunable handle by which choice of metal can steer material properties. Additionally, large differences in Tg and G' are observed for materials with different anions, which are mostly linked to the anion size. This serves as a reminder that for coordination chemistry in the bulk, not only the metal ion is to be considered, but also the accompanying anion. Finally, the reinforcing effect of metal coordination is proved insensitive to the metal-ligand ratio, emphasizing the robustness of the applied method.

Abstract
Covalent adaptable networks (CANs) capable of both shape-shifting and self-healing ability offer a viable alternative to 4D printing technology to gain access to various complex shapes in a simplified manner. However, most of the reported CANs exhibit shape-shifting ability in the presence of temperature, light or chemical stimuli, which restricts their further utilization as realization of such a controlled environment is not feasible under complex scenarios. Herewith, we report a set of CANs based on a room-temperature exchangeable thia-Michael adduct, which undergoes rearrangement in network topology on application of external stress. These CANs with tensile strength (≤6 MPa) and modulus (≤71.4 MPa) adopt to any programmed shape under application of nominal stress. The CANs also exhibit stress-induced recyclability, self-welding and self-healing ability under ambient conditions. The transparency and ambient condition self-healing ability render these CANs to be utilized as scratch-resistant coatings on display items.

Abstract
Chalcogen-centered cascade exchange chemistry is increasingly understood to account for thiol-mediated uptake, that is, the ability of reversibly thiol-reactive agents to penetrate cells. Here, reversible Michael acceptors are shown to enable and inhibit thiol-mediated uptake, including the cytosolic delivery of proteins. Dynamic cyano-cinnamate dimers rival the best chalcogen-centered inhibitors. Patterns generated in inhibition heatmaps reveal contributions from halogen-bonding switches that occur independent from the thyroid transporter MCT8. The uniqueness of these patterns supports that the entry of tetrel-centered exchangers into cells differs from chalcogen-centered systems. These results expand the chemical space of thiol-mediated uptake and support the existence of a universal exchange network to bring matter into cells, abiding to be decoded for drug delivery and drug discovery in the broadest sense.

Abstract
Polymer networks built out of dynamic covalent bonds offer the potential to translate the control and tunability of chemical reactions to macroscopic physical properties. Under conditions at which these reactions occur, the topology of covalent adaptable networks (CANs) can rearrange, meaning that they can flow, self-heal, be remolded, and respond to stimuli. Materials with these properties are necessary to fields ranging from sustainability to tissue engineering; thus the conditions and time scale of network rearrangement must be compatible with the intended use. The mechanical properties of CANs are based on the thermodynamics and kinetics of their constituent bonds. Therefore, strategies are needed that connect the molecular and macroscopic worlds. In this Perspective, we analyze structure-reactivity-property relationships for several classes of CANs, illustrating both general design principles and the predictive potential of linear free energy relationships (LFERs) applied to CANs. We discuss opportunities in the field to develop quantitative structure-reactivity-property relationships and open challenges.

Abstract
While the Michael addition has been employed for more than 130 years for the synthesis of a vast diversity of compounds, the reversibility of this reaction when heteronucleophiles are involved has been generally less considered. First applied to medicinal chemistry, the reversible character of the hetero-Michael reactions has recently been explored for the synthesis of Covalent Adaptable Networks (CANs), in particular the thia-Michael reaction and more recently the aza-Michael reaction. In these cross-linked networks, exchange reactions take place between two Michael adducts by successive dissociation and association steps. In order to understand and precisely control the exchange in these CANs, it is necessary to get an insight into the critical parameters influencing the Michael addition and the dissociation rates of Michael adducts by reconsidering previous studies on these matters. This review presents the progress in the understanding of the thia-Michael reaction over the years as well as the latest developments and plausible future directions to prepare CANs based on this reaction. The potential of aza-Michael reaction for CANs application is highlighted in a specific section with comparison with thia-Michael-based CANs.

Abstract
![]()
The non-Newtonian behaviors of dense suspensions are
central to
their use in technological and industrial applications and arise from
a network of particle–particle contacts that dynamically adapt
to imposed shear. Reported herein are studies aimed at exploring how
dynamic covalent chemistry between particles and the polymeric solvent
can be used to tailor such stress-adaptive contact networks, leading
to their unusual rheological behaviors. Specifically, a room temperature
dynamic thia-Michael bond is employed to rationally tune the equilibrium
constant (Keq) of the polymeric solvent
to the particle interface. It is demonstrated that low Keq leads to shear thinning, while high Keq produces antithixotropy, a rare phenomenon where the
viscosity increases with shearing time. It is proposed that an increase
in Keq increases the polymer graft density
at the particle surface and that antithixotropy primarily arises from
partial debonding of the polymeric graft/solvent from the particle
surface and the formation of polymer bridges between particles. Thus,
the implementation of dynamic covalent chemistry provides a new molecular
handle with which to tailor the macroscopic rheology of suspensions
by introducing programmable time dependence. These studies open the
door to energy-absorbing materials that not only sense mechanical
inputs and adjust their dissipation as a function of time or shear
rate but also can switch between these two modalities on demand.

Abstract
Sulfur has been important in dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) since the beginning of the field. Mainly as part of disulfides and thioesters, dynamic sulfur-based bonds (DSBs) have a leading role in several remarkable reactions. Part of this success is due to the almost ideal properties of DSBs for the preparation of dynamic covalent systems, including high reactivity and good reversibility under mild aqueous conditions, the possibility of exploiting supramolecular interactions, access to isolable structures, and easy experimental control to turn the reaction on/off. DCC is currently witnessing an increase in the importance of DSBs. The chemical flexibility offered by DSBs opens the door to multiple applications. This Review presents an overview of all the DSBs used in DCC, their applications, and remarks on the interesting properties that they confer on dynamic chemical systems, especially those containing several DSBs.

Abstract
![]()
Hydrogels cross-linked
with dynamic covalent bonds exhibit time-dependent
properties, making them an advantageous platform for applications
ranging from biomaterials to self-healing networks. However, the relationship
between the cross-link exchange kinetics, material properties, and
stability of these platforms is not fully understood, especially upon
addition of external stimuli. In this work, pH was used as a handle
to manipulate cross-link exchange kinetics and control the resulting
hydrogel mechanics and stability in a physiologically relevant window.
Poly(ethylene glycol)-based hydrogels were cross-linked with a reversible
thia-Michael addition reaction in aqueous buffer between pH 3 and
pH 7. The rate constants of bond exchange and equilibrium constants
were determined for each pH value, and these data were correlated
with the resulting mechanical profiles of the bulk hydrogels. With
increasing pH, both the forward and the reverse rate constants increased,
while the equilibrium constant decreased. These changes led to faster
stress relaxation and less stiff hydrogels at more basic pH values.
The elevated pH values also led to an increased mass loss and a faster
rate of release of an encapsulated model bovine serum albumin fluorescent
protein. The connection between the kinetics, mechanics, and molecular
release profiles provides important insight into the structure–property
relationships of dynamic covalent hydrogels, and this system offers
a promising platform for controlled release between physiologically
relevant pH values.

Abstract
A series of multistage (pressure-sensitive/hot melt) adhesives utilizing dynamic thia-Michael bonding motifs are reported. The benzalcyanoacetate Michael acceptors used in this work undergo bond exchange under ambient conditions without external catalysis, facilitating pressure-sensitive adhesion. A key feature of this system is the dynamic reaction-induced phase separation that lends reinforcement to the otherwise weakly bonded materials, enabling weak, repeatable pressure-sensitive adhesion under ambient conditions and strong adhesion when processed as a hot melt adhesive. By using different pairs of benzalcyanoacetate cross-linking units, the phase separation characteristics of the adhesives can be directly manipulated, allowing for a tailored adhesive response.

Abstract
Supramolecular polymers allow access to dynamic materials, where noncovalent interactions can be used to offer both enhanced material toughness and stimuli-responsiveness. The versatility of self-assembly has enabled these supramolecular motifs to be incorporated into a wide array of glassy and elastomeric materials; moreover, the interaction of these noncovalent motifs with their environment has shown to be a convenient platform for controlling material properties. In this Viewpoint, supramolecular polymers are examined through their self-assembly chemistries, approaches that can be used to control their self-assembly (e.g., covalent cross-links, nanofillers, etc.), and how the strategic application of supramolecular polymers can be used as a platform for designing the next generation of smart materials. This Viewpoint provides an overview of the aspects that have garnered interest in supramolecular polymer chemistry, while also highlighting challenges faced and innovations developed by researchers in the field.

Abstract
Introduction of dynamic thiol-alkynone double addition cross-links in a polymer network enable the formation of a self-healing injectable polymer hydrogel. A four-arm polyethylene glycol (PEG) tetra-thiol star polymer is cross-linked by a small molecule alkynone via the thiol-alkynone double adduct to generate a hydrogel network under ambient aqueous conditions (buffer pH = 7.4 or 8.2, room temperature). The mechanical properties of these hydrogels can be easily tuned by varying the concentration of polymer precursors. Through the dynamic thiol-alkynone double addition cross-link, these hydrogels are self-healing and shear thinning, as demonstrated by rheological measurements, macroscopic self-healing, and injection tests. These hydrogels can be injected through a 20G syringe needle and recover after extrusion. In addition, good cytocompatibility of these hydrogels is confirmed by cytotoxicity test. This work shows the application of the thiol-alkynone double addition dynamic covalent chemistry in the straightforward preparation of self-healing injectable hydrogels, which may find future biomedical applications such as tissue engineering and drug delivery.
