Abstract

A sustainable approach to prevent filler settling in vitrimeric polymers, using a mechanically recycled composite filler, is reported. The resulting composites demonstrate over 40% improvements in flexural strength and an over 70% improvement in material hardness while maintaining recyclability and mechanical performance after remanufacturing.
