Soft-to-hard transformation of the mechanical properties of dynamic covalent polymers through component incorporation

Takashi Ono, Shunsuke Fujii, Tadahito Nobori and Jean-Marie Lehn

The mechanical properties of acylhydrazone dynamic polymers may be converted from soft to hard by the incorporation of rigid monomeric components into the original soft polymer backbone, taking advantage of acylhydrazone bond exchange.
