Mechanical cooperation between time-dependent and covalent bonds in molecular damage of polymer networks

Abstract Most covalent polymer networks inherently contain a population of dynamic bonds, such as entanglements and physical associations, that interact with permanent cross-linked chains. This interaction plays a critical role in the mechanical behavior of the material and is evident from experimen...
