High crystallinity polymer networks via dynamic covalent chemistry

We are studying the use of dynamic covalent chemistry to enhance the molecular order of polymer networks and thereby increase the thermal conductivity. The technical goals are to produce high thermal conductivity, low mass density fillers for polymer composites and increase the thermal conductivity of thermosets used in electrical insulation.
