Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201400317-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A catalyst‐free malleable network polymer</bold> that can be reprocessed by application of either water or heat is prepared through imine chemistry. This material is recycled from a fine powder to a coherent solid with &gt;100% recycling efficiency through several generations. It is also reprocessed at ambient temperature using only water, thus potentially leading to energy‐neutral green processing of the material. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pghmfn3sw6" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
