Study of Vitrimerization of Thermosetting Liquid Crystal Epoxy Resin via Chemical Reprocessing and Recycling

Thermosetting polymers are applied in various industrial fields due to their excellent physical properties, high thermal and mechanical stability. In particular, epoxy materials are attracting attention as next-generation electronic materials due to their bio-friendliness, electronic insulation, and thermal mechanical stability. However, most thermosetting polymers including epoxy resins, still face challenges from insoluble and non-recyclability. In this study, Liquid Crystal Epoxy Resin (LCER) are synthesized which can be reproduced to overcome the limitations of thermosetting polymers. Also, for application as an electronic material, high thermal conductivity are realized. These results suggest the applicability as electronic materials.
