An internal three-dimensional dynamic network assists a commodity thermoplastic polymer,Polypropylene, in showing superior recyclability performance. This network, triggered through the transesterification reaction between Maleic Anhydride and ۱, ۴ Butanediol, is a feasible upcycling application for the polyolefin, conforming to sustainable development and circular economy standards.
