Exploring <i>α</i>-Lipoic Acid Based Thermoplastic Silicone Adhesive: Towards Sustainable and Green Recycling.

ABSTRACT: Considering the demand for the construction of a sustainable future, it is essential to endow the conventional thermoset silicone adhesive with reuse capability and recyclability. Although various research attempts have been made by incorporating reversible linkages, developing sustainable silicone adhesives by natural linkers is still challenging, as the interface between the natural linker and the silicone is historically difficult. We exploited the possibility of utilizing α-lipoic acid, a natural linker, to construct a sustainable silicone adhesive. Via the simultaneous ring-opening reaction between the COOH and epoxide-functionalized silicone and the polymerization of the α-lipoic acid, the resulting network exhibited dynamic properties. The shear strength of the LASA90
