Journal ArticleDOI
Thiol–enes: Chemistry of the past with promise for the future
TL;DR: The photopolymerization of mixtures of multifunctional thiols and enes is an efficient method for the rapid production of films and thermoset plastics with unprecedented physical and mechanical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
UV-Induced Frontal Polymerization of Multifunctional (Meth)acrylates
TL;DR: In this paper, photo-induced frontal polymerization was performed on a variety of multifunctional (meth)acrylates, and evaluation of the effect of monomer structure on the ability to sustain a traveling front was made.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Hydrogen Bonding on Photopolymerization Rate of Hydroxyalkyl Acrylates
TL;DR: The relationship between the photopolymerization rate of hydroxyalkyl acrylates and their structure has been investigated in this paper, where it was shown that the enhanced rates are directly proportional to the degree of hydrogen bonding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of the alkene structure on the mechanism and kinetics of thiol–alkene photopolymerizations with real‐time infrared spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of chemical structure on the reactivity of alkenes used in thiol-ene photopolymerizations has been investigated with real-time infrared spectroscopy.
