The Kalow lab, in collaboration with the Air Force Research Laboratory, synthesized two oligosiloxane-based epoxy networks that provide fast dynamic bond exchange. The resulting polymer networks provided access to fast stress-relaxation times (1–10 min) at temperatures of only 130 °C with excellent reprocessability. This work provides a framework to utilize epoxy acids and siloxanes for dynamic materials, and the low viscosity of the siloxane monomers may offer further advantages for composite manufacturing processes.
