Thermoset/supramolecular hybrid composites and resins that can be hot-formed and recycled

Abstract

Thermoset/supramolecular hybrid composites and resins, resulting from bringing at least one thermosetting resin precursor, this thermosetting resin precursor including hydroxyl functions and/or epoxy groups, and optionally ester functions, into contact with at least one hardener chosen from carboxylic acids and acid anhydrides, and with at least one compound including, on the one hand, at least one associative group, and on the other hand at least one function enabling the grafting thereof to the thermosetting resin precursor, to the hardener or to the product resulting from the reaction of the thermosetting resin precursor and the hardener, in the presence of at least one transesterification catalyst. Process for manufacturing these materials, process for transforming and process for recycling these materials. Novel solid forms of hybrid composites and resins which can be used in the implementation of these processes.
