Abstract

Physical Sciences Polymer Science Science & Technology
The Diels-Alder reaction of furan and maleimide is used to prepare reversibly cross-linking polymer gels consisting of furan-bearing polymer chains and bismaleimides. The roles of chain length, stoichiometry, and concentration on gelation kinetics and other properties are evaluated. Additionally, kinetics of the Diels-Alder reactions in the gelling system are compared with the kinetics of small molecule systems. By combining spectroscopic and rheological techniques, a mechanochemical analysis is performed.
