Simon’s latest work on dynamic boronate-TetraAzaADamantane networks has been published in the special issue on Dynamic Bonds in Polymers of the Journal of Polymer Science. In his paper, Simon compared two different dynamic boronic acid based covalent adaptable networks, namely, a conventional boronate-diol and a novel boronate-TetraAzaADamantane (TAAD) system. Simon found that incorporating boronate-TAAD bonds in networks results in stiffer materials, as seen in a slower relaxation and higher shear and storage moduli. You can read the full story here.
