A team led by researchers at the 窪蹋勛圖厙 developed a new PCB that performs on par with traditional materials and can be recycled repeatedly with negligible material loss. Researchers used a solvent that transforms a type of vitrimer a cutting-edge class of polymer into a jelly-like substance without damage, allowing solid components to be plucked out for reuse or recycling. With these vPCBs (vitrimer printed circuit boards), researchers recovered 98% of the vitrimer and 100% of the glass fiber.
