Key Points

The introduction of Diels–Alder chemistry results in self-healable polybenzimidazole membranes, enhancing their recyclability.
Using dynamic covalent bonds, the molecular weight of polybenzimidazole has been increased, leading to improved material properties.
This method addresses the unrecyclable nature of standard polybenzimidazole, potentially promoting sustainable material practices.
The development involves transforming soluble polymers through chain extension techniques, which may advance membrane technology.

Implication

Diels–Alder reaction improves molecular weight and self-healability in polybenzimidazole, suggesting enhanced recycling potential.

Abstract

Introducing DA dynamic covalent bonds into polybenzimidazole to prepare soluble polymers with higher molecular weight, solving the problem of unrecyclable PBI.
