Acylhydrazone linkages are appealing for design of covalent adaptable networks (CANs) due to the reversible nature and ease of formation from readily available starting materials. However, acylhydrazone CANs typically exhibit dynamic behavior within a limited temperature range due to their slow exchange rate. Here, vanillin was modified by a two-step reaction involving allylation and imination, followed

Molecular design of LCST-type phase separation in water has been widely accepted as desolvation of water-soluble amphiphilic polymers with a small alkyl group triggered by heat. However, for organic media, it is not yet predictable due to the difficulty in designing the entropy-driven exothermic desolvation. In this report, we demonstrate LCST-type phase separations of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)
