Abstract:Inverse vulcanization, a sustainable platform, can transform an industrial by-product, sulfur, into polymers with broad green applications such as heavy metal capture and recyclable materials. However, the process usually requires high temperatures (≥159°C), and the crosslinkers needed to stabilise the sulfur are therefore limited to high-boiling-point monomers only. Here, we report an alternative route for inverse vulcanization — mechanochemical synthesis (MS), with advantages of mild conditions (room tempera… Show more
