Kinetic Programming of Dynamic Covalent Networks via Isomer-Pure Diels–Alder Kinetics
Abstract The precise control of material properties through molecular-level architecture remains an enormous challenge in materials science. Here, we present a platform for the kinetic programming of covalently cross-linked networks by translating selective cycloreversion kinetic...

Photo‐Degradable Polyester Networks and Multi‐Photon Printed Objects Based on Cyclic Ketene Acetals
ABSTRACT Radical ring‐opening polymerization (RROP) of cyclic ketene acetals (CKAs) constitutes a powerful avenue to biodegradable polyesters via radical polymerization. CKA‐based degradable polymers have been established mainly as linear polymers, while networks from CKA‐based R...

Catalyst-FreeThiol–yne Nucleophilic PhotoclickChemistry
Abstract X-yne nucleophilic addition reactions are essential and powerful tools in a range of synthetic routes for realizing functional and stimuli-responsive materials. Unfortunately, the lack of spatiotemporal control and the requirement for catalyst addition in these reactions...
