Abstract: The invention relates to a method to prepare a precursor for a polymer or to prepare a polymer, the polymer comprising at least one unit of formula (I) or at least one unit of formula (II) having a tertiary amine and a pendant carboxyl group Furthermore the invention relates to a precursor or polymer comprising at least one unit of formula (I) and/or at least one unit of formula (II) and to the use of such precursor or such polymer in extrusion, injection moulding, compression moulding, transfer moulding, foam moulding, thermoforming, rotation moulding or 3D printing

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition comprising an epoxy-derived covalent adaptable network, preferably an epoxy vitrimer comprising at least one unit of formula (I) The invention further relates to a method for preparing a composition comprising an epoxy-derived covalent adaptable network by contacting at least one amine comprising primary, at least one vinylogous precursor comprising vinylogous precursor groups and at least one epoxide comprising epoxide groups whereby the number of amine groups, the number of vinylogous precursor groups and the number of epoxide groups is controlled.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising a polymeric network having at least one unit of formula (I), (II), and/or (III); wherein the composition is obtained by contacting at least one compound A comprising at least two functions selected from the group of function of formula —X—C(?O)—CHR1-C(?O)—R2, —C(?O)—C?C—R2; or —C(?O)—CR1?CR2—NR4R5; wherein at least 25% by weight of compounds A have a functionality ?5, with % by weight relative to the total weight of compounds A; with at least one compound B comprising at least one —NH2, or —NH3+ groups; wherein X, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, L1 and L2 have the same meaning as that defined in the claims. The present invention also relates to a compound comprising at least two units and at most 5 units of formula (I), (II), and/or (III), described hereinabove.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a compound of formula (I) or a stereoisomer, enantiomer, racemic, or tautomer thereof, (I) wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, L1 and Q1 have the meaning defined in the claims and the description. The present invention also relates to a process for the preparation of the compound of formula (I). The present invention also relates to the use of a compound of formula (I) as an in situ precursor of a triazolinedione reagent for the functionalization of enes, dienes, aryl and heteroaryl systems via the ene reactions, Diels-Alder reactions, and electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions of said reagent.
