Sulfur and its functional groups are major players in an area of exciting research taking place in modern polymer and materials science, both in academia and industry. In fact, manifold sulfur-based reactions that are both exceptionally versatile as well as tremendously useful have been implemented, and further utilized for the design and preparation of polymeric materials that lead to a plethora of applications ranging from medicine to optics and nanotechnology to separation science. Hence, within this review, an overview of strategies and developments used over the last 5 years to reinforce the importance of the sulfur functional group in modern polymer and materials science is presented. In particular, many important references in the primary literature of sulfur chemistry are referred to, including thiol-ene, thiol-yne, thiol-Michael addition, disulfide cross-linking, and thiol-disulfide exchange, among others, by explaining and illustrating the important principles. Last but not least, the grand aim to underpin the importance of sulfur in modern polymer and materials science is achieved by presenting selected examples in diverse fields and postulating the respective potential for real-world applications.
硫及其官能团是现代聚合物和材料科学领域中令人兴奋的研究领域的主要参与者,无论是在学术界还是工业界。事实上,已经实施了多种基于硫的反应,这些反应既非常多样化,又非常有用,并进一步用于设计和制备聚合物材料,这些材料在从医学到光学、纳米技术到分离科学等众多领域都有应用。因此,在这篇综述中,介绍了过去 5 年来用于加强硫官能团在现代聚合物和材料科学中重要性的策略和发展。特别是,通过解释和说明重要的原理,引用了硫化学的主要文献中的许多重要参考文献,包括硫醇-烯、硫醇-炔、硫醇-Michael 加成、二硫化物交联和硫醇-二硫化物交换等。最后但同样重要的是,通过在不同领域展示选定的实例并推测各自在实际应用中的潜力,实现了强调硫在现代聚合物和材料科学中的重要性的宏伟目标。
