Understanding Relative Reactivity-Governed Kinetics and Network Formation in Thiol-Yne and Other Competitive Consecutive Polymerizations

Abstract Thiol-yne polymerizations couple two sequential additions of thiol: first, to an alkyne and subsequently, to a vinyl sulfide, making the polymerization and the resulting polymer structure dependent on the relative reactivity. Herein, kinetic, analytical, and random-graph...
