Addition of new covalent bonds between the chains of thermoplastic polymers (i.e., crosslinking) provides improved mechanical strength and enhanced high-temperature performance while also providing an effective strategy for photopatterning. Traditionally, however, crosslinking of each polymer substrate has required the use of a specific crosslinking technology (hydrosilylation for PDMS, vulcanization for rubber, etc.). The lack of a general solution to the challenge of polymer crosslinking means that there are many thermoplastics (e.g., polypropylene or polyhydroxyalkanoates) that have desirable properties, but which cannot be upgraded by traditional crosslinking technologies.

二嗪基通用聚合物交联剂的设计、开发和合理改进


在热塑性聚合物的链之间添加新的共价键（即交联）可以提高机械强度和增强高温性能，同时也为光刻提供了有效的策略。然而，传统上，每种聚合物基材的交联都需要使用特定的交联技术（PDMS 的氢化硅烷化、橡胶的硫化等）。由于缺乏应对聚合物交联挑战的通用解决方案，这意味着有许多热塑性塑料（例如聚丙烯或聚羟基脂肪酸酯）具有理想的性能，但无法通过传统的交联技术进行升级。
