Abstract
to form MPNs, rigid materials that are insensitive to temperature changes are obtained, and negligible structural rearrangement is observed upon heating. These findings are expected to facilitate the rational engineering of versatile TA-based MPN materials with tunable physiochemical properties for diverse applications.
