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.
