In an earlier study involving synthetic polymer network for the preparation of elastomers and thermosets, the furan-maleimide cycloadduct was reported to undergo cyclo-reversion at high temperature. To our understanding, the shear force generated during injection at 25 ºC acts as a force-actuator mimicking elevated temperature resulting in mechanochemical decoupling of the cycloadduct. Furthermore, these hydrogels were injectable at least up to 48 hours after mixing of the precursors when stored at room temperature (Figure ).
