Ultra-strong long-chain polyamide elastomers with programmable supramolecular interactions and oriented crystalline microstructures

Abstract

Long-chain polyamides could bridge the gap between traditional polyamides and polyethylenes. Here the authors show the preparation of diamide diene monomers derived from natural resources coupled by thiol-ene addition copolymerization to form long-chain amide-containing polymers for the synthesis of ultra-strong elastomers.
