proponeris
Proponeris is a fictional class of materials used in theoretical discussions of adaptive, self-assembling polymers.
Origin and usage: The term appears in speculative literature and thought experiments to explore how dynamic
Description: Proponeris networks consist of crosslinked polymer segments connected by dynamic bonds that can break and
Characteristics: They exhibit reversibility, self-healing, and tunable stiffness; the network architecture can be rearranged without complete
Synthesis and modeling: In discussions, proposals for proponeris draw on principles of vitrimer chemistry and dynamic
Potential applications: soft robotics, protective coatings, biomedical scaffolds, reconfigurable electronics.
Limitations and reception: Because proponeris is hypothetical, there is no consensus on precise definitions; it remains
