Water-resistant boronic ester vitrimer with hydrophobic side chain protection†
Abstract
A boronic ester vitrimer with high hydrolytic stability afforded by fluorinated side-chain protection is reported, withstanding high moisture and underwater environments with no performance degradation, which can also be self-healed, reprocessed and recycled, presenting a significant step towards the design of more robust and eco-friendly circular materials.
