[4+2] thermoreversible Diels‐Alder cycloaddition has been used to crosslink star‐shaped poly(ε‐caprolactone) in order to produce networks based on strong carbon‐carbon covalent bondings. Depending on the nature of the Diels‐Alder reactants, these bonds can be thermoreversibly broken, allowing re‐processing of the polymer matrix.
