It is herein reported that a facile application of N-acyl dibenzazepine (ADBA) photochemistry for preparing photoreversible ADBA based thiol-ene networks. Crosslinking of the ADBA thiol-ene networks is successfully achieved by UV induced dimerization of ADBA groups at wavelengths above 300 nm while a subsequent deep UV exposure (λ = 250 nm) results in a well-defined cleavage of the crosslinks. The photochemical bonding and cleavage of the process has been determined and studied in detail by spectroscopic measurements.

Compositions of ethylene glycol dicyclopentenyl ether methacrylate (EGDEMA), a vegetable oil based alkyl methacrylate (C13MA), and furfuryl methacrylate (FMA) were terpolymerized for dual-crosslinked networks with tailored mechanical and thermal properties. Specifically, initiators for continuous activator regeneration (ICAR) atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) afforded materials with tailored glass transition temperature ( ) and incorporation of furan and norbornene functionalities within a single chain. The terpolymer with high furan and norbornene functionality (Ter2: = 0.

Photocrosslinkable formulations based on the radical thiol-ene reaction are considered better alternatives than methacrylated counterparts for light-based fabrication processes. This study quantifies differences between thiol-ene and methacrylated crosslinked hydrogels in terms of precursors stability, the control of the crosslinking process, and the resolution of printed features particularized for hyaluronic acid (HA) inks at concentrations relevant for bioprinting. First, the synthesis of HA functionalized with norbornene, allyl ether, or methacrylate groups with the same molecular weight and comparable degrees of functionalization is presented.

Recycling thermosetting materials presents itself as a major challenge in achieving sustainable material use. Dynamic covalent cross-linking of polymers has emerged as a viable solution that can combine the structural integrity of thermosetting materials with the (re-)processability of thermoplastics. Thioether linkages between polymer chains are quite common, and their use dates back to the vulcanization of rubbers.

Article Synopsis
- A novel type of superabsorbent hydrogels was created by cross-linking hydrophilic poly(vinylphosphonates) through a process called photochemical reaction, which involves light to trigger the bonding.
- The process included synthesizing specific copolymers using a rare earth metal technique, followed by modifications to introduce vinylphosphonic acid, leading to significant water absorption capabilities of up to 150g of water per g of hydrogel.
- The hydrogels were shown to respond to changes in pH, with experiments demonstrating their ability to swell and deswell reversibly in response to acidic or basic environments, making them suitable for use as sensors in various applications.

Hydroxyapatite (HAP) and amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) nanoparticles were incorporated into a thiol-ene clickable gelatin network to elucidate to what extent osteogenic differentiation of human dental pulp- and adipose-derived stem cells (HDPSCs/HASCs) could be further boosted. ACP nanoparticles increased the specific surface area by 23% and reduced the density by 13% while maintaining a comparable particle size (ACP: 25 ± 3 nm; HAP: 27 ± 3 nm). Overall, the incorporation of ceramic nanoparticles did not significantly alter the mechanical properties of the ceramic-containing composites compared to the unsubstituted thiol-ene network.
