Upcycling Polyolefin Blends into High-Performance Materials by Exploiting Azidotriazine Chemistry Using Reactive Extrusion The revalorization of incompatible polymer blends is a key obstacle in realizing a circular economy in the plastics industry. Polyolefin waste is particularly challenging because it is difficult to so...

🍁 As fall begins so does the PhD defense season at C3M! The first in line this year was Huidi SUN. She successfully presented her work on the reactive processing of polyolefin blends with heteroaromatic azides. Congratulations to her!

Self-Healing and Creep-Resistant Injectable Hydrogel from Aminoborinate Chemistry and Phase Separation Boronate-based hydrogels are of particular interest for diagnostics, drug-delivery, cell culture or 3D fabrication. The short lifetime of the reversible boronate cross-links makes them self-repairing ...

Just out in ACS Materials Letters! A new concept combining phase separation and dynamic covalent chemistry to design self-healing, injectable hydrogels. Tremendous work by H. Sun, I. Göde at @c3m-espci.bsky.social @espciparispsl.bsky.social and M. Bonnard at ISM Bordeaux.

Langmuir 2025, 41, 4, 2400–2410

🔬 Researchers from @gulliver-lab.bsky.social and SIMM Lab at ESPCI and @cnrs.fr, in collaboration with @univbordeaux.bsky.social, recently published a study titled Swelling and Evaporation Sculpt the Surface of Grafted Hydrogel Films. Their work was featured on the cover of Langmuir last month.

Just out in @apsphysics.bsky.social Physical Review X!

Latest work by Paolo, Stefano and Michel on the tuning of stress, memory and aging of glassy materials.

🔬🧪 Due to a deeper understanding of stress storage in materials, researchers have developed a method to erase memory and restore the internal structure of materials to equilibrium.

The Soap Opera of Metal Catalysis in Epoxy-Acid Vitrimers Precipitation of bivalent metal carboxylates is a well-known issue in detergency, resulting in decreased efficiency and unwanted accumulation of lime soap on laundry. We demonstrate that the same phen...

A soap opera out in Macromol from @c3m-espci.bsky.social!
Diego and Ianis explored the unexpected interactions of metal-carboxylate complexes in epoxy-acid vitrimers and showed how a simple step addition avoid the formation of such precipitates. Read more ⬇️

Exploiting Dioxazaborocane Chemistry for Preparing Elastomeric Vitrimers with Enhanced Processability and Mechanical Properties Boronic ester-based vitrimers have garnered significant attention in the polymer science community owing to their chemical stability, ease of synthesis, and recyclability. However, like most vitrimers...

New paper @c3m-espci.bsky.social in Chemistry of Materials! Dioxazaborocanes functional groups were explored for the formation of vitrimers networks, resulting in faster relaxation dynamics and more processable materials.
Congrats to all the authors!

We will have the great pleasure to welcome Dr. Elsje Quadrelli on next Friday for an inspiring talk on sustainable energy transitions through the prism of interdisciplinarity 💫

Reactive Processing of Polyethylene with Azidotriazine: From Modified Thermoplastics to Injection Moldable Covalent Adaptable Networks The increasing consumption of polyethylene (PE) is an important concern for society because the rate of PE recycling remains low compared to the scale of PE production. There is thus great interest in...

Have a look at last paper by H. Sun and team in ACS Appl. Mat. @c3m-espci.bsky.social !
Through the use of reactive extrusion with azidotriazines, PE can be recycled and the obtained material injection molded.
