One-Pot Ketone Functionalization of EPDM toward Recyclable and Creep-Resistant Elastomers Cross-Linked with Biobased Amines

Abstract Introducing dynamic covalent networks into conventional ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) rubber offers a promising strategy for developing thermally reprocessable elastomers; however, it requires the introduction of reactive functionalities onto the chemically ine...

Pyridine Functionalization: A Facile Route to Recycled Biobased Itaconate Elastomer/Lignin Composites with Superior Mechanical and Damping Performance

Abstract A massive global annual demand exists for elastomers applied in tires, seals, and shock absorbers. Against the backdrop of sustainable development, next-generation damping elastomers are expected to integrate multiple functionalities, notably high biobased content and re...
