Exploiting valuable supramolecular materials from waste plastics

A new family of supramolecular materials is exploited from waste thermosets via a one-step retrosynthetic approach, which exhibits distinguished adhesion properties in dry/wet environments, good corrosion resistance and dynamic reversibility. This work opens up a wide design space for supramolecular materials with excellent performances and proposes a new strategy for efficient utilization of hybrid degraded products.
