Abstract: Dynamic covalent bonds have evolved into a promising tool for the development of functional materials such as polymers, gels or liquid crystals. They combine the error-correction capability and adaptivity of intermolecular forces with the robustness of the covalent bonds. The article summarizes recent developments in the use of dynamic covalent bonds for the design of new liquid crystalline materials.
