1 Introduction The incorporation of dynamic (reversible) bonds into polymers has emerged as a versatile strategy to impart these materials, among other functions [1-3], with intrinsic self-healing capabilities [4-6]. Both supramolecular interactions [7-11] and dynamic covalent bonds [12-15] have been widely explored in this context, as they enable reversible bond formation and exchanges that restore a polymer's structure and mechanical integrity after damage [16-19].
