Project title: Reprocessable thermosets via dynamic polymer networks – REPRONET
Project leader at POLYFUN: Veronica Ambrogi
Partners: PoliTO, University of Parma
Funding programme: PRIN 2022 – Italian Ministry of University and Research, funded by the European Union – Next Generation EU, Mission 4 Component 1
Budget: 63 k€
Duration: 09/2023 – 09/2025
REPRONET addresses the design, preparation and development of novel, sustainable and recyclable dynamic polymer networks. The aim is to obtain a new class of high performance and melt-processable materials for the replacement of conventional epoxy resins, which are non-recyclable by thermomechanical methods. REPRONET is aimed to bridge between the chemistry of dynamic networks and technology of polymer processing.
