The thiol-ene ‘click’ reaction is well known as an efficient method for synthesizing certain functional polymers. In this study, we performed the ternary ‘click’ copolymerization (gelation ...

Finally, the use of thiol-ene chemistry, a reaction that is known to perform well under benign reaction conditions (tolerance to oxygen and water), allows for a rich selection of functionalized ...

New catalyst dcypt enables the ester group to migrate to ring carbons in an aromatic rearrangement reaction. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases ...

Thiol-thioester exchange within these polymer networks gives way to extremely rapid, room temperature plasticity. Because plasticity occurs under ambient conditions and the thiol functional group is ...

Virtually everyone at the Jeongseon Alpine Centre in Pyeongchang - from the competitors at the bottom of the hill to the commentators in the booth - thought Austria's Anna Veith had successfully ...

That light is made by a chemical reaction—a phenomenon known as chemiluminescence. In glow sticks, the chemicals that react together to create the light are kept separate until the right moment.

In an article published in RSC Applied Polymers, researchers present a solution to e-waste by developing re-processible polyimide substrates through thiol-ene photopolymerization, offering ...
