Article Abstract
Three novel bio-based monomers were synthesized through an amidation reaction involving allylated derivatives of coumaric, ferulic and phloretic acid and a diamine obtained from a thiol-ene coupling reaction between limonene and cysteamine. The monomers containing the enone bond of the cinnamic moiety underwent photoisomerization and photocycloaddition reactions upon UV light irradiation. All three monomers were photocured via thiol-ene photopolymerization using a glycerol-derived trifunctional thiol, resulting in fully bio-based poly(amide-thioether)s. The polymers derived from monomers that contain the enone bond exhibited glass transition (T) temperatures of 85 °C when a stoichiometric ratio of the thiol was used, whereas polymers in which an excess of thiol was used exhibited T temperatures of 61 and 74 °C. The higher T of the synthesized polymers, compared with other reported polymers produced from thiol-ene photopolymerizations, was attributed to the combination of the aromatic rings of the cinnamic moiety and the cycloaliphatic ring of limonene, as well as the presence of the amide groups in the polymer, which can induce hydrogen bonding. The development of high T polymers from bio-based monomers through thiol-ene photopolymerization represents a significant advancement in the polymer synthesis sector, offering an improved performance and sustainability.

Thiol-norbornene photoclick hydrogels are highly efficient in tissue engineering applications due to their fast gelation, cytocompatibility, and tunability. In this work, we utilized the advantageous features of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-thiol-ene resins to enable fabrication of complex and heterogeneous tissue scaffolds using 3D bioprinting and in-air drop encapsulation techniques. We demonstrated that photoclickable PEG-thiol-ene resins could be tuned by varying the ratio of PEG-dithiol to PEG norbornene to generate a wide range of mechanical stiffness (0.

Artificially prepared superhydrophobic surfaces toward a self-cleaning "lotus effect" and anticontamination performance have become critically important in the past few years. However, most approaches to create the required topology with a hierarchical roughness comprise several manufacturing steps of varying practicality. Moreover, the desired low surface energy is in most cases achieved with fluorinated moieties that are currently criticized due to biological and environmental hazards.

Dynamic covalent polymer networks exhibit a cross-linked structure like conventional thermosets and elastomers, although their topology can be reorganized through externally triggered bond exchange reactions. This characteristic enables a unique combination of repairability, recyclability and dimensional stability, crucial for a sustainable industrial economy. Herein the application of a photoswitchable nitrogen superbase is reported for the spatially resolved and reversible control over dynamic bond exchange within a thiol-ene photopolymer.

A highly reactive thiol-ene high internal phase emulsion based on the monomers 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate and tris 2-(3-mercaptopropionyloxy)ethyl isocyanurate was developed for the purpose of light-driven additive manufacturing, resulting in highly porous customizable poly(high internal phase emulsion) materials. The formulation was specifically designed to facilitate short irradiation times and low amounts of photoinitiator. Furthermore, the developed emulsion does not rely on employing harmful solvents to make scale-up and industrial applications feasible.
