Au cours de cette thèse, à l'aide de réactions chimiques simples et industrialisables, nous avons tenté d'élaborer par polycondensation des matériaux polymères possédant des combinaisons de propriétés inhabituelles. Dans un premier temps, nous décrivons des réseaux chimiques qui sont insolubles mais pourtant malléables, soudables sans apport de mat...
Nous décrivons l’utilisation de matrices polymères aux propriétés inhabituelles dans des composites à fibres de verre longues et dans des composites tout organique. Les vitrimères récemment découverts au laboratoire Matière Molle et Chimie une nouvelle classe de polymères. Ils sont réticulés et insoluble comme les thermodurs mais pourtant malléable...
We investigate how the crossover temperature of the elastic-plastic transition, the ‘vitrification point’ Tv, changes under load for isotropic vitrimers and exchangeable liquid crystal elastomers (xLCEs), using the thermoplastic SIS triblock polymer as a reference. In all these cases, the elastic network cross-links are transient: physical micro-ph...
Les élastomères siloxanes sont des thermodurcissables, réticulés chimiquement, qui ne peuvent être ni remis en forme, ni transférés sur un support autre que celui d'origine, ni recyclés. Afin d'apporter une réponse à ces limitations, nous avons cherché à développer des élastomères siloxanes vitrimères, les vitrimères étant des matériaux capables d'...
With the aim to generate vitrimers from commonly used thermoplastics with carbon-carbon based backbones, such as PMMA and PS, dynamic covalent exchange reactions relying on Schiff’s bases and boronic esters were investigated. Two different approaches, i.e. crosslinking in solution or in extrusion, were used. These materials are processable via extr...
Vitrimers are a type of covalent adaptable networks that use an associative mechanism resulting in the ability to be thermally processed without losing their network integrity, even at elevated temperatures. Here we describe the synthesis of vinylogous urethane-based thermally stable, reinforced polydimethylsiloxane vitrimers with a special emphasi...
Rubbers are usually cross-linked through static covalent bonds. Consequently, they cannot be reshaped after their synthesis. With the aim to extend the shelf life of elastomers, dynamic covalent chemistry was used to cross-link elastomers and develop recyclable rubbers. Thanks to the associative exchange reaction between boronic ester cross-links, ...
Vitrimers constitute a fascinating class of polymer materials that make the link between the historically opposed 3D networks (thermosets) and linear polymers (thermoplastics). Their chemical resistance, reshaping ability, and unique rheological behavior upon heating make them promising for future applications in industry. However, many vitrimers r...
Dual dynamic networks (DDNs) are polymeric materials that combine two (or more) distinct crosslinkers in one system. By coupling different crosslinking strategies, precisely tailored materials can be designed. This thesis explores the implementation of the vitrimer concept into DDNs. Elastomeric vitrimers consisting of two interpenetrated dynamic n...
Research on bio-based covalent adaptable networks is popular nowadays in the search for an optimal implementation of thermoset materials and composites in a circular context. Herein, a vanillin derivative is integrated into vitrimers with promising material properties in which the vinylogous urethane associative chemistry has been used as a dynamic...
