The Power of Thiol-ene Chemistry

As a tribute to Professor Charlie Hoyle, we take the opportunity to review the impact of thiol-ene chemistry on polymer and materials science over the past 5 years. During this time, a renaissance in thiol-ene chemistry has occurred with recent progress demonstrating its unique advantages when compared with traditional coupling and functionalization strategies. Additionally, the robust nature o...

Thiol-Ene-Methacrylates as Dental Restorative Materials

Thiol-ene systems demonstrate numerous advantageous polymerization properties in regards to rapid curing, high conversion, minimal oxygen inhibition, and reduced shrinkage stress. However, one of the drawbacks of thiol-ene systems is that commercially available monomers are not able to achieve the mechanical properties required for use as dental restorative materials. Methacrylate systems on th...

Thin film shape memory alloys and microactuators

For Micro-electro-mechanical System (MEMS) applications, TiNi-based thin film Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) possess many desirable properties, such as high power density, large transformation stress and strain upon heating and cooling, superelasticity and biocompatibility. In this paper, recent development in TiNi-based thin film SMA and microactuator Thin film SMAs and microactuators 209 applicat...
