TL;DR: A facile method to prepare chemically stable and processable polymeric materials through the direct copolymerization of elemental sulfur with vinylic monomers is reported, which leads to well-defined sulfur-rich micropatterned films created by imprint lithography.

TL;DR: High quality imaging in the near (1.5 μm) and mid-IR regions using high refractive index polymeric lenses from these sulfur materials was demonstrated.

TL;DR: Sulfur-rich copolymers based on poly(sulfur random-1,3-diisopropenylbenzene) (poly(S-r-DIB)) were synthesized via inverse vulcanization to create cathode materials for Li-S batteries.

TL;DR: In this paper, the surface characterization of commercially available indium-tinoxide (ITO) thin films, using photoelectron spectroscopies (XPS and UPS) and electrochemistry of chemisorbed probe molecules such as ferrocene dicarboxylic acid (Fc(COOH)2), 3-thiophene acetic acid (3-TAA), and subsequent modification of these interfaces with electrochemically grown conducting polymer (CP) films is introduced.

TL;DR: In this paper, high sulfur content copolymers were prepared via inverse vulcanization of sulfur with 1,4-diphenylbutadiyne (DiPhDY) for use as the active cathode material in lithium-sulfur batteries.
