Abstract
AbstractSustainable adhesives with simultaneous high strength and excellent ductility are important but still challenging. Here, an epoxy adhesive with simultaneously strong, tough, and sustainable features by designing a new hierarchical energy‐dissipated cross‐linking structure is reported: an annular structure containing quadruple internal B─N coordination boronic esters (AQBN). Under small strain, the AQBN structure is rigid to enhance the tensile strength of the adhesive. With medium strain applied, its non‐coplanar ring and internal quadruple B─N coordination can orderly open, providing mechanical energy dissipation and excellent ductility. Therefore, this multilevel structure can endow epoxy adhesives with both high strength and toughness. Besides, the rapid dynamic exchange and internal B─N coordination in boronic esters enable the adhesives to have good sustainability and environmental tolerance, respectively. As a result, the epoxy adhesives exhibit simultaneous high adhesive strength (18.5 MPa), outstanding toughness (work of debonding of 29692 N m−1), good chemical/physical recyclability, and excellent environmental reliability (humidity, water, high/ultralow temperature, and organic solvents). This work provides a new strategy for balancing the strength, toughness, and sustainability of adhesives.
