Polymeric materials have revolutionized modern life, from electronics to biomed- ical devices, thanks to breakthroughs in synthesis and engineering. Yet, traditional polymers –built on covalent static networks– pose challenges in, for example, degrada- tion and energy-intensive recycling. Now, interest in dynamic chemistries has enabled reconfigurable polymer systems that respond to external stimuli, supporting applica- tions such as chemical recycling and adaptive materials.
