Abstract
Curable compositions for dynamic epoxy-based thermoset adhesives and/or sealants are provided. Methods of applying the compositions to form strong, low-stress, cured adhesive polymer films are also provided. The cured polymer films use crosslinkers that include disulfide and carbon-nitrogen bonds, wherein the disulfide bonds impart dynamic chemistry to the polymer network structure in order to the achieve adaptable thermoset adhesives and sealants.
