Synthesis of novel trithiocarbonate and allyl sulfide containing monomers

Abstract

A novel, mild, and high yielding synthesis is developed for trithiocarbonate and allyl sulphide-containing AFT (addition–fragmentation termination) monomers. The image illustrates the novel core, linker, and end groups of the monomer array crosslinked by PETMP, through which polymer films of low stress and capable of photoplasticity may be formed.
