Ibon OdriozolaAromatic disulfide metathesis has been reported as one of the very few dynamic covalent chemistries undergone at room-temperature. Here, bis(4-aminophenyl) disulfide is effectively used as a dynamic crosslinker for the design of self-healing poly(urea–urethane) elastomers, which show quantitative healing efficiency at room-temperature, without the need for any catalyst or external intervention.

Ibon OdriozolaRecently we have shown the self-healing ability of a poly(urea-urethane) elastomer reversibly cured with aromatic disulfide bridges. Here we show that although being chemically crosslinked, such materials can be easily reprocessed by applying heat and pressure to obtain any desired form. This offers a unique paradigm towards thermoset processing and recycling, as well as for isocyanate-free manipulation of polyurethanes.

About Me
PhD in Polymer Chemistry (University of Basque Country, 2010). Currently, I work as a project manager while my research is aimed at the synthesis and characterization of polymers and composite materials for different sectors. I am co-author of more than 25 scientific papers in ISI journals and inventor of three patents (recyclable epoxy resin and self-healing polyurethane). I have been involved in the development of several patented materials including novel 3R composites: reprocessable, repairable and recyclable fiber-reinforced thermoset composites. I count with wide experience in H2020 projects.
