Passerini polymerization of α-lipoic acid for dynamically crosslinking 1,2-dithiolane-functionalized polymers

Abstract

Passerini polymerization using naturally occurring α-lipoic acid as a raw material yields polyamides with 1,2-dithiolane functional groups in a one-step reaction. The polyamide exhibits characteristics of an adaptable dynamically crosslinked network through reversible ring-opening reaction of 1,2-dithiolane, enabling self-healing, reusable strong adhesion, and regeneration through decrosslinking and re-crosslinking.
