We herein present the synthesis and crystallographic characterisation of lithium silylamides displaying different coordination numbers and aggregation states according to the number of N- and O-donor functions in the starting material, (aminomethyl) substituted silazane ligands. The dimeric dimethyl-(N-lithio-tert-butylamino)-piperidinomethyl)-silane and dimethyl-(N-lithio-iso-propylamino)-pipe...

We present a catalytic (only ppm/wt) back-to-cyclics chemical recycling strategy. Reactive distillation yields ∼99% of pure mixture cyclics (D 3 /D 4 5 ). Catalyst and repolymerization recycled monomers further silicone circularity.

Abstract Incorporating dynamic bonds into polymers enables static thermosets to be transformed active materials, possessing the reprocessability of thermoplastics while maintaining bulk properties fully crosslinked networks. This new class termed covalent adaptable networks (CANs), has helped bridge gap between traditional and thermoplastics. Here, epoxy-based were synthesized by combining a di...
