The synthesis and processing of most thermoplastics and thermoset polymeric materials rely
on energy-inefficient and environmentally burdensome manufacturing methods. Frontal …

In this review, we report some recent advances and new horizons in UV-induced cationic
photopolymerization. In particular, after a brief introduction on the discovery and affirmation …

The development of thiol–ene/thiol–epoxy hybrid networks offers the advantage of tailorable
polymerization kinetics while producing a highly crosslinked, high Tg polymer that has …

Introduction. Frontal polymerization entails the conversion of a monomer into a polymer via a
localized exothermic reaction zone that propagates through the coupling of thermal diffusion …

Photoinduced frontal polymerization was performed on a variety of multifunctional (meth)
acrylates, and evaluation of the effect of monomer structure on the ability to sustain a …

By combining frontal polymerization and radical‐induced cationic polymerization, it was
possible to cure thick samples of an epoxy monomer bleached by UV light. The effect of the …

Bentonite clay is used to tune the swelling, stimuli responsiveness (sorption and thermal)
and the rheological characteristics of starch grafted polyacrylic acid based hydrogel. Here …

The study of hydrogels and their response to external environment is of special interest
because of their potential as drug delivery systems, 1, 2 actuators, 3 and separation devices …

The first synthesis of a polyurethane by frontal polymerization has been successfully carried
out. Namely, the two reactants (1, 6-hexamethylene diisocyanate and ethylene glycol) and …

For the first time, conductive starch/poly (ionic liquid) hydrogels from a polymerizable deep
eutectic solvent (DES) by frontal polymerization (FP) were reported. The solubility and …
