Nanocomposite polymers are prepared using a new sustainable materials synthesis process in which d-Limonene functions simultaneously both as a solvent for recycling polystyrene (PS) waste and as a monomer that undergoes UV-catalyzed thiol-ene polymerization reactions with polythiol comonomers to afford polymeric products composed of precipitated PS phases dispersed throughout elastomeric poly(thioether) networks. These blended networks exhibit mechanical properties that greatly exceed those of either polystyrene or the poly(thioether) network homopolymers alone.
纳米复合聚合物是采用一种新的可持续材料合成工艺制备的，其中d-柠檬烯同时起到两种作用：作为回收聚苯乙烯（PS）废料的溶剂，以及作为一种单体，与多硫醇共聚单体发生紫外线催化的硫醇-烯聚合反应，从而得到由沉淀的PS相分散在整个弹性体聚（硫醚）网络中组成的聚合物产品。这些混合网络的机械性能大大超过了单独的聚苯乙烯或聚（硫醚）网络均聚物的机械性能。
