Lignin-derivable, thermally healable thiol-acrylate vitrimers with improved mechanical performance and reprocessability <i>via</i> transesterification
The presence of methoxy substituents on lignin-derivable (bis)phenols leads to enhanced toughness and thermal healing in thiol-acrylate vitrimers, highlighting the potential of renewable feedstocks to improve sustainability in polymer network design.
