Malleable, Ultrastrong Antibacterial Thermosets Enabled by Guanidine Urea Structure

Overview
Dynamic covalent polymers (DCPs) that strike a balance between high performance and rapid reconfiguration have been a challenging task. For this purpose, a solution is proposed in the form of a new dynamic covalent supramolecular motif—guanidine urea structure (GUAs). GUAs contain complex and diverse chemical structures as well as unique bonding characteristics, allowing guanidine urea supramolecular polymers to demonstrate advanced physical properties. Noncovalent interaction aggregates (NIAs) have been confirmed to form in GUA‐DCPs through multistage H‐bonding and π‐π stacking, resulting in an extremely high Young's modulus of 14 GPa, suggesting remarkable mechanical strength. Additionally, guanamine urea linkages in GUAs, a new type of dynamic covalent bond, provide resins with excellent malleability and reprocessability. Guanamine urea metathesis is validated using small molecule model compounds, and the temperature dependent infrared and rheological behavior of GUA‐DCPs following the dissociative exchange mechanism. Moreover, the inherent photodynamic antibacterial properties are extensively verified by antibacterial experiments. Even after undergoing three reprocessing cycles, the antibacterial rate of GUA‐DCPs remains above 99% after 24 h, highlighting their long‐lasting antibacterial effectiveness. GUA‐DCPs with dynamic nature, tuneable composition, and unique combination of properties make them promising candidates for various technological advancements.
A new dynamic covalent supramolecular motif, guanidine urea structure, is proposed and exploited to prepare thermosetting materials with reprocessability, ultrahigh modulus, and intrinsic photodynamic antibacterial characteristics. Dynamic exchange reaction of guanamine urea bonds follows the dissociative exchange mechanism. The material's ultrahigh modulus and photodynamic antibacterial characteristics are attributed to noncovalent interaction aggregates caused by multilevel H‐bonding and π‐π stacking.
