A team from the Olvera de la Cruz and Kalow labs combined coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations with a Monte Carlo method to investigate the topological structural changes, microscopic dynamics, and linear rheology of unentangled side-chain-linked vitrimers in conjunction with the sticky Rouse model (SRM). The results indicated that the linear rheology of unentangled vitrimers with a fast bond-exchange rate can be analyzed via a single-chain approach based on the SRM.
