In this work, highly stretchable and conductive polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/nickel-coated graphite (NCG) composites were fabricated based on the filler sedimentation method, in which NCG was modified by the coupling agent of the end alkyl group (dodecyltriethoxysilane, DTES) and end vinyl group (vinyltriethoxysilane, VTEO), considering the force between the filler networks and filler–matrix interface. The DTES modified NCG mainly improved the filler–matrix interface, which made the resistance of the composites clearly increase with strain, while the VTEO mainly heightened the NCG networks and made the resistance of the composites insensitive to a strain of 114% when the NCG content was 23.1 wt%. These quite interesting results are closely related to the force between the filler networks and filler–matrix interface during strain and they were proved in detail through the mechanical and electrical hysteresis performance.

However, increased fire risks threaten commercial operations and the potential impact of high-performance electronic and transportation technologies that utilize polymeric materials. Despite significant monitoring and reduction of commonly used halogenated flame retardants, their worldwide usage still poses environmental hazards. Many non-halogenated flame-retardant compounds are viable additives for synthetic polymers; however, their incorporation often results in reduced composite homogeneity and mechanical strength. This review focuses on reactive flame retardants and the effect of polymer structure on inherent flame retardance in recent studies. The synthesis and characterization of polymeric systems (e.g. polyurethanes, polyamides, polyimides, polyesters and epoxy resins) are discussed in terms of structure–flame-retardant performance using a complement of analytical tools, including thermogravimetric analysis, cone calorimetry, limiting oxygen index and UL 94 testing.

The introduction of dynamic B–O bonds and diminished hydrogen bonding led to a decrease in mechanical strength and elongation at break. Interestingly, the simultaneous incorporation of PDMS and dynamic B–O bonds is favorable for strain rate dependence and suppressing stress relaxation. The potential for bond-exchange interactions between the dynamic B–O bonds and hydroxyl groups on metal surfaces substantially improved the adhesion of the PU elastomer to metal substrates.

Thiol–ene ‘click’ photopolymerization is particularly advantageous in this regard; however, the materials derived from this method often exhibit low glass transition temperatures (<i>T</i><sub>g</sub>) and unsuitable thermomechanical properties for applications at room temperature. Herein, we report the synthesis of biobased allyl derivatives from quercetin, a renewable flavonoid compound widely available in fruits, vegetables and plants. We demonstrated the isolation of tetra- and penta-allylated quercetin (<b>Q1</b> and <b>Q2</b>, respectively) and their subsequent photoactivated thiol–ene polymerization. By introducing a biobased thiol curing agent (PTTMP) derived from glycerol and mercaptopropionic acid, we produced fully biobased crosslinked thermosets with high content of aromatic moieties provided by the framework of the monomers. Real-time infrared spectroscopy showed the effective thiol–ene photopolymerization of <b>Q1</b> and <b>Q2</b> and PTTMP with conversions of 60% and 75%, respectively, after 15 min of UV irradiation. Due to the modulated crosslinking degree from the allyl group functionalization in the monomers, the biobased crosslinked networks showed storage moduli from 420 to 739 MPa, thermal stability from 220 to 257 °C and <i>T</i><sub>g</sub> values ranging from 75 to 90 °C.

The heating of the polymer up to the temperature used for the reduction of catalysts (573 K) is shown to decrease the specific surface area by 11% because of an increase in the bond tension and valence angle deformation.
