With the goal to push the mechanical properties of reconfigurable supramolecular polymers towards those of thermoset resins, we prepared and investigated a new family of hydrogen-bonded polymer networks that are assembled from isophthalic acid-terminated oligo(bisphenol A-co-epichlorohydrin) and different bipyridines. These materials display high storage moduli of up to 3.9 GPa, can be disassembled upon heating to form melts with a viscosity of as low as 2.1 Pa·s, and fully reassemble upon cooling. We show that the new polymers can readily be reconfigured, re-processed or recycled and that the reversible (dis) assembly makes them useful as hot-melt adhesives that permit debonding on-demand.
