| Résumé: | Covalent adaptable networks (CANs) are an emerging kind of smart materials in which cross-links are reversible upon some stimuli and then provide malleability and a stimuli-responsive ability to the materials. There is a trend to endow CANs with multistimuli-responsive capabilities and rapid stress relaxation to pursue more advanced applications. To integrate these two features into one material, here, dual-dynamic covalent bonds (imines and boronic esters) and aniline trimer (ACAT) were incorporated into the styrene butadiene elastomer as dynamic cross-links. The obtained CANs were demonstrated with rapid stress relaxation and a relatively low activation energy of 36 ± 1 kJ mol-1, resulting from the synergistic effect of dual-dynamic covalent bonds to rearrange the network at a faster rate than for either imines or boronic esters. Because of the dynamic nature of imines or boronic esters, the elastomer can be recycled upon heat. Moreover, the appearance and configuration of the elastomer could also be manipulated by pH and light because of the inclusion of ACAT. All in all, the coupled multistimuli-responsive behavior and rapid stress relaxation in one single elastomer would potentially be applicable for sensors and actuators with good recyclability |
