Abstract

Dynamic covalent (DCv) ureas are highly diverse chemical moieties and have become one of the most used motifs in self-healing materials and beyond. This review summarizes the historical development, properties, and applications of DCv ureas in different fields of organic chemistry, materials chemistry, and biomedical applications and provides guidance on the design of different DCv ureas depending on stability and dynamicity requirements.
