A series of thiol-Michael and radical thiol-ene network polymers were successfully prepared from ester-free as well as ester-containing monomer formulations. Polymerization reaction rates, dynamic mechanical analysis, and solvent resistance experiments were performed and compared between compositions with varied ester loading. The incorporation of ester-free alkyl thiol, vinyl sulfone and allylic monomers significantly improved the mechanical properties when compared with commercial, mercaptopropionate-based thiol-ene or thiol-Michael networks. For polymers with no hydrolytically degradable esters, glass transition temperatures (T's) as high as 100 °C were achieved. Importantly, solvent resistance tests demonstrated enhanced stability of ester-free formulations over PETMP-based polymers, especially in concentrated basic solutions. Kinetic analysis showed that glassy step-growth polymers are readily formed at ambient conditions with conversions reaching 80% and higher.
通过不含酯以及含酯的单体配方成功制备了一系列硫醇-迈克尔和自由基硫醇-烯网络聚合物。进行了聚合反应速率、动态力学分析和耐溶剂性实验,并对不同酯含量的组合物进行了比较。与市售的基于巯基丙酸酯的硫醇-烯或硫醇-迈克尔网络相比,不含酯的烷基硫醇、乙烯基砜和烯丙基单体的加入显著改善了机械性能。对于没有可水解降解酯的聚合物,实现了高达100°C的玻璃化转变温度(Tg)。重要的是,耐溶剂性测试表明,不含酯的配方比基于PETMP的聚合物具有更高的稳定性,尤其是在浓碱性溶液中。动力学分析表明,玻璃态逐步增长聚合物在环境条件下很容易形成,转化率可达80%及更高。
