Covalent Adaptable Networks synthesis Line of research Covalent Adaptable Networks (CANs) are polymers in which there are cross-links consisting of reversible covalent bonds. This line of research is centered on the synthesis of new CANs, using substances obtainable from food or industrial waste as starting monomers. In particular, oleic or linoleic acid is used as the starting material.
