Summary

In this thesis a novel subtype of reversible covalent chemical bonds, namely the boronate-tetraazaadamantane bond, was used to create hard, yet recyclable, polymeric materials. The material properties, and the tuning of said properties, of these new materials were researched to gain more insight for future applications.
