BIOMAPS Guide to explore the structure and properties of vitrimeric biopolymer systems

This Guide provides a clear and accessible introduction to biobased vitrimers, a rapidly emerging class of materials in polymer science. Like other emerging sustainable materials, vitrimers combine complex chemistry and real-world applications, which can be difficult to understand. For this reason, this Guide aims to simplify these concepts by offering a narrative that is scientifically sound and easy to understand. Readers will learn how these materials are designed, why they are considered sustainable, and how they can transform the future of plastics.
