Glassy dynamics of vitrimers — •Liesbeth Janssen — Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands

Vitrimers are a promising new type of polymer glasses that combine the recyclability of thermoplastics with the high mechanical performance of thermosets. At the heart of their exceptional material properties lies highly unusual glass-forming behavior. In this talk I will discuss how we can model and understand this behavior, using coarse-grained simulations and first-principles-based theory [1].
