3D‐Printable Nanoporous Thermosets via Disulfide‐Based Polymerization‐Induced Microphase Separation
α‐Lipoic acid‐derived degradable macro‐chain transfer agents (macroCTAs) with tunable hydrophilicity drive polymerization‐induced microphase separation (PIMS) in photocurable resins. Selective etching via disulfide cleavage then generates interconnected nanoporous thermosets, and compatibility with liquid‐crystal display (LCD) 3D printing enables the ...

Functional and Network PHAs via Stereoselective Polymerization and Tailored Post‐Transformation
Catalyst‐controlled stereoselective (co)polymerization of functionalized lactones produces vinyl‐, allyl‐, and propargyl‐functionalized PHAs with high syndiotacticity and a broad applicable temperature window, which can be further transformed into crosslinked PHA thermosets, elastic supramolecular networks, and functional grafts. ABSTRACT Incorporation
