Dynamic covalent bond exchange polymer

Covalent polymers with reversible properties arising from dynamic covalent bonds such as disulfide exchange reaction [47 9], transesterification [50,51], transetherification [52], and boronate ester formation [53] were reported without respect to DCC. These studies should involve DCLs in... 

In the aforementioned examples, a photothermal effect was used to trigger supramolecular remolding or analogous dynamic exchanges between covalent bonds. Beyond these specific systems, it could be more simply applied in the same way to any un-cross-linked polymer so as to overcome the weak physical bonds existing between the chains.
