As discussed in Sec. we combined single bond switching defects with edge removal defects studied in Sec. 2.5. We simulated networks with either one edge removed or one edge removed and a Stone-Wales defect added, undergoing sinusoidal stretching. This stretching was at a rate of 1.00 µs -1 over 10.0 µs for a total of 10.0 oscillations. The oscillations were up to a constant maximum amplitude of A = 1.1, and the simulation temperature was at 100 K. We varied the potential model parameters in the range D e =16.0 × 10 -21 J to 64.0 × 10 -21 J and ε =16.0 × 10 -21 J to 64.0 × 10 -21 J, with α being kept constant at 0.150. Three different demonstration networks, before being transformed into polymers, are shown in Fig. .
