A fully recyclable phenolic resin (TDNR) with dynamic cross-linked network was facilely prepared without any catalyst using commercial novolac and toluene diisocyanate by forming hindered urethane bonds. The exchangeable network of TDNR ensures good processibility for long fiber prepregs, which are suitable for hand molding and reshape of composites. By utilizing a simple chemistry mechanism, the close-loop recycle of phenolic resin with high working temperature and good mechanical properties are successfully achieved.(Written by Zhen Wang; proofread by Xiaolong Xing)
