Epoxy resin with reprocessable, strong mechanical property and mutil-functions (such as recyclable and dielectric properties) shows great prospects in many applications, but it is still a huge challenge. Herein, we combine siloxanes and dynamic transesterification reaction to fabricate a novel close...
