Crosslinked networks can be easily synthesized through thiol-epoxy “click” reaction; a highly adaptable and convenient proton transfer polymerization method. For instance, various networks can be produced by simply mixing thiol and epoxy monomers with any basic organic or inorganic polymerization catalyst, even in the absence of solvent. Initiation of polymerization in ambient conditions, or external light sources emphasizes the versatility of this reaction. Either thermal or photochemical methods can be used to produce thick films with patterns through soft imprint lithography. Resolution and structural character of patterns differ on the network’s own physical properties, which are defined with the monomer used in polymerization. Physical properties of crosslinked networks formed with monomers containing polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) were compared and examined with ones containing polyethyleneglycol(PEG), proving the utility and diversity of materials based on thiol-epoxy chemistry. |
