RSC Applied Polymers Blog

To celebrate the growth and development of the RSC Applied Polymers community and to highlight the remarkable authors who continue to contribute their high quality work to the journal, we would like to share the opinions and insights of these authors through this introductory blog post. Once dubbed #RSCAppliedfirst50, our blog posts aim to give a voice to the authors behind the research and hope that their insights might shed light upon growing challenges and progress in polymer science and its applications.

In this edition, we hear from Maryam Behzad Khoshgoee, Mithun Kumar Debnath, Griffin Pardo, Yichun (Lucia) Yuan, Muhammad Zeeshan, Erqian Mao, Burcu (Eksioglu) Gurkan, Matthew Bertin and Metin Karayilan as they discuss their recently published article, ‘Multi-responsive polymers with degradable side-chain functionality for controlled hydrolysis and tunable thermal transition‘.

In this edition, we hear from Dr Yasuhiro Kohsaka and Dr Mikihiro Hayashi as they discuss their recently published article, ‘Vitrimer-like acrylic glass with fast stress relaxation by high-speed carboxy exchange reaction‘.

Dr Yasuhiro Kohsaka and Dr Mikihiro Hayashi have developed vitrimers-like acrylic glass, that is, crosslinked acrylic polymers with rapid stress relaxation performance and excellent processability. These properties are achieved by fast covalent bond exchanges on methacrylate moieties, known as conjugate substitution reactions.
