"How does gelation impact the mechanical properties of polymer networks? Insights from polymer mechanochemistry"

Abstract: Polymer networks that sustain large reversible deformations are widespread in engineering, biomedical, and electronic applications. However, their mechanical properties, particularly at large strains, remain challenging to design within their molecular architecture through conventional synthetic methods, as these offer limited control over the kinetics and thermodynamics of gelation and, in turn, the connectivity of polymer chains.
