Commun. 2019, 55, 2086–2089http://hdl.handle.net/2374.MIA/6342Transiently crosslinked dynamic polymer networks are developed, using carbodiimide hydration to link carboxylic acids as anhydrides. From aqueous polymer solutions, non-equilibrium hydrogels are transiently formed, which dissolve upon anhydride hydrolysis. The materials can be refueled using a subsequent injection of carbodiimide. The gels exhibit higher storage moduli compared to transient supramolecular gels as a result of their covalent crosslinks.Attribution 3.0 United Stateshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/Journal Article
