Abstract
A series of copolymers have been prepared via thiol-ene polymerization of bioderived α,ω-unsaturated diene monomers with dithiols toward application as solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) for Li+-ion conduction. Amorphous polyesters and polyethers with low Tg's (-31 to -11 °C) were first prepared from xylose-based monomers (with varying lengths of fatty acid moiety) and 2,2'-(ethylenedioxy)diethanethiol (EDT). Cross-linking by incorporation of a trifunctional monomer also produced a series of SPEs with ionic conductivities up to 2.2 × 10-5 S cm-1 at 60 °C and electrochemical stability up to 5.08 V, a significant improvement over previous xylose-derived materials. Furthermore, a series of copolymers bearing nucleoside moieties were prepared to exploit the complementary base-pairing interaction of nucleobases. Flexible, transparent, and reprocessable SPE films were thus prepared with improved ionic conductivity (up to 1.5 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 60 °C), hydrolytic degradability, and potential self-healing capabilities.

Abstract
Polymer sustainability is synonymous with "bioderived polymers" and the zeitgeist of "using renewable feedstocks". However, this sentiment does not adequately encompass the requirements of sustainability in polymers. In addition to recycling considerations and mechanical performance, following green chemistry principles also needs to be maximized to improve the sustainability of polymer synthesis. The synthetic cost (i.e., maximizing atom economy, reducing chemical hazards, and lowering energy requirements) of producing polymers should be viewed as equally important to the monomer source (biomass vs petrol platform chemicals). Therefore, combining the use of renewable feedstocks with efficient syntheses and green chemistry principles is imperative to delivering truly sustainable polymers. The high efficiency, atom economy, and single reaction trajectories that define click chemistry reactions position them as ideal chemical approaches to synthesize polymers in a sustainable manner while simultaneously expanding the structural scope of accessible polymers from sustainably sourced chemicals.Click step-growth polymerization using the thiol-yne Michael addition, a reaction first reported over a century ago, has emerged as an extremely mild and atom-efficient pathway to yield high-performance polymers with controllable E/Z stereochemistry along the polymer backbone. Building on studies of aromatic thiol-yne polymers, around 10 years ago our group began investigating the thiol-yne reaction for the stereocontrolled synthesis of alkene-containing aliphatic polyesters. Our early studies established a convenient path to high-molecular-weight (>100 kDa) E-rich or Z-rich step-growth polymers by judiciously changing the catalyst and/or reaction solvent. This method has since been adapted to synthesize fast-degrading polyesters, high-performance polyamides, and resilient hydrogel biomaterials. Across several systems, we have observed dramatic differences in material properties among polymers with different alkene stereochemistry.We have also explored the analogous thiol-ene Michael reaction to create high-performance poly(ester-urethanes) with precise E/Z stereochemistry. In contrast to the stereoselective thiol-yne polymerization, here the use of monomers with predefined E/Z (geometric) isomerism (arising from either alkenes or the planar rigidity of ring units) affords polymers with total control over stereochemistry. This advancement has enabled the synthesis of tough, degradable materials that are derived from sustainable monomer feedstocks. Employing isomers of sugar-derived isohexides, bicyclic rigid-rings possessing geometric isomerism, led to degradable polymers with fundamentally opposing mechanical behavior (i.e., plastic vs elastic) simply by adjusting the stereochemistry of the isohexide.In this Account, we feature our investigation of thiol-yne/-ene click step-growth polymers and efforts to establish structure-property relationships toward degradable materials with practical mechanical performance in the context of sustainable polymers and/or biomaterials. We have paid attention to installing and controlling geometric isomerism by using these click reactions, an overarching objective of our work in this research area. The exquisite control of geometric isomerism that is possible within polymer backbones, as enabled by convenient click chemistry reactions, showcases a powerful approach to creating multipurpose degradable polymers.

Abstract
![]()
Incorporating rigid
cyclic acetal and ketal units into polymer
structures is an important strategy toward recyclable high-performance
materials from renewable resources. In the present work, citric acid,
a widely used platform chemical derived from biomass, has been efficiently
converted into di- and tricyclic diketones. Ketalization with glycerol
or trimethylolpropane afforded rigid spirodiols, which were obtained
as complex mixtures of isomers. After a comprehensive NMR analysis,
the spirodiols were converted into the respective di(meth)acrylates
and utilized in thiol–ene polymerizations in combination with
different dithiols. The resulting poly(β-thioether ester ketal)s
were thermally stable up to 300 °C and showed glass-transition
temperatures in a range of −7 to 40 °C, depending on monomer
composition. The polymers were stable in aqueous acids and bases,
but in a mixture of 1 M aqueous HCl and acetone, the ketal functional
groups were cleanly hydrolyzed, opening the pathway for potential
chemical recycling of these materials. We envision that these novel
bioderived spirodiols have a great potential to become valuable and
versatile bio-based building blocks for several different kinds of
polymer materials.

Abstract
The remarkable elasticity and tensile strength found in natural elastomers are challenging to mimic. Synthetic elastomers typically feature covalently cross-linked networks (rubbers), but this hinders their reprocessability. Physical cross-linking via hydrogen bonding or ordered crystallite domains can afford reprocessable elastomers, but often at the cost of performance. Herein, we report the synthesis of ultra-tough, reprocessable elastomers based on linear alternating polymers. The incorporation of a rigid isohexide adjacent to urethane moieties affords elastomers with exceptional strain hardening, strain rate dependent behavior, and high optical clarity. Distinct differences were observed between isomannide and isosorbide-based elastomers where the latter displays superior tensile strength and strain recovery. These phenomena are attributed to the regiochemical irregularities in the polymers arising from their distinct stereochemistry and respective inter-chain hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
Hybrid nanomaterials possess the properties of both organic and inorganic components and find applications in various fields of research and technology. In this study, aerosol photopolymerization is used in combination with thiol-ene chemistry to produce silver poly(thio-ether) hybrid nanospheres. In aerosol photopolymerization, a spray solution of monomers is atomized, forming a droplet aerosol, which then polymerizes, producing spherical polymer nanoparticles. To produce silver poly(thio-ether) hybrids, silver nanoparticles were introduced to the spray solution. Diverse methods of stabilization were used to produce stable dispersions of silver nanoparticles to prevent their agglomeration before the photopolymerization process. Successfully stabilized silver nanoparticle dispersion in the spray solution subsequently formed nanocomposites with non-agglomerated silver nanoparticles inside the polymer matrix. Nanocomposite particles were analyzed via scanning and transmission electron microscopy to study the degree of agglomeration of silver nanoparticles and their location inside the polymer spheres. The nanoparticle hybrids were then introduced onto various biofunctionalization reactions. A two-step bioconjugation process was developed involving the hybrid nanoparticles: (1) conjugation of (biotin)-maleimide to thiol-groups on the polymer network of the hybrids, and (2) biotin-streptavidin binding. The biofunctionalization with gold-nanoparticle-conjugates was carried out to confirm the reactivity of -SH groups on each conjugation step. Fluorescence-labeled biomolecules were conjugated to the spherical nanoparticle hybrids (applying the two-step bioconjugation process) verified by Fluorescence Spectroscopy and Fluorescence Microscopy. The presented research offers an effective method of synthesis of smart systems that can further be used in biosensors and various other biomedical applications.

Abstract
Two renewable, structurally analogous monomers, isosorbide undecenoate (IU) and glucarodilactone undecenoate (GDLU) reacted with pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionate) (PETT) via thiol-ene photopolymerization to form IU-PETT and GDLU-PETT thermosets. Despite their chemical similarity, uniaxial tensile testing showed that GDLU-PETT exhibited a strain-hardening behavior and is significantly tougher than IU-PETT. To understand this observation, in situ tensile testing and wide-angle X-ray scattering experiments (WAXS) were conducted. While the 2D WAXS patterns of IU-PETT displayed an isotropic halo during uniaxial deformation, they exhibited a change from an isotropic halo to a pair of scattering arcs for the GDLU-PETT samples. Density functional theory calculations further revealed that the GDLU alkyl chains are less angled than the IU alkyl chains. Based on these results, we postulate that the GDLU molecules can more easily order and align during uniaxial deformation, hence increasing intermolecular interactions between the GDLU molecules and contributing to the observed strain hardening behavior of their thermosets. This study exemplifies how molecules with subtle differences in their chemical structures can alter the structures and thermophysical properties of the resulting polymers in unpredictable ways.

Abstract
This study created water polyurethane (WPU) prepolymer by using isophorone diisocyanate, castor oil, dimethylolpropionic acid, and triethanolamine (TEA) as the hard segment, soft segment, hydrophilic group, and neutralizer, respectively. TEA, deionized water, and carbon black (CB) were added to the prepolymer under high-speed rotation to create an environmentally friendly vegetable-oil-based polyurethane. CB served as the fortifier and promoter of microphase separation. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was performed to elucidate the role of H-bond interactions within the CB/WPUs. Additionally, atomic force microscopy was conducted to determine the influence of H-bond interactions on the degree of microphase separation in the WPU. Furthermore, this study used four-point probe observation to discover the materials' conductivity of CB in the WPU. Thermogravimetric analysis and dynamic mechanical analysis were performed to measure the thermal properties of the CB/WPUs. The mechanical properties of CB/WPUs were measured using a tensile testing machine. The CB/WPUs were also soaked in 1 wt.% NaOH solution for different amounts of time to determine the degradation properties of the CB/WPUs. Finally, scanning electron microscopy was performed to observe the topography of the CB/WPUs after degradation.
