Abstract
AbstractBio‐based “thiol‐epoxides” thermosets containing dynamic cross‐linked network topologies, permanent cross‐linking and recyclability have been successfully utilized in coatings, adhesives and composites. However, these materials typically have a low glass transition temperature and limited mechanical strength. Combining excellent mechanical properties with thermal properties remains a significant challenge. In this study, we developed a recyclable itaconic acid‐based epoxy thermoset material with high glass transition temperature and tensile strength through thiol‐olefin/thiol‐epoxy click reaction and alkyl bond radical copolymerization to construct a hybrid cross‐linked network. The tensile strength reached up to (105.9 MPa) while maintaining a high Tg (93.3°C), which is the highest value reported in the literature so far. In addition, the itaconic acid‐based epoxy has excellent recyclable processing, self‐healing properties, high hardness, solvent resistance, and surface bond strength as an adhesive and coating. The results hold potential applications in achieving sustainable development in coatings and adhesives.
