Properties and applications of synthetic thiol-and disulfide-based materials, principally
polymers, are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on soft and self-assembling materials in which …

Thiolactones are often described as latent thiols. They can be ring-opened by hydroxy or
amine groups releasing thiols, which can further react with a large variety of functional …

The development of closed-loop recycling polymers that exhibit excellent performance is of
great significance. Sulfur-rich polymers possessing excellent optical, thermal, and …

Don't forget poly (disulfide) s. There is a rich literature pointing out the advantages of the
dynamic nature of single disulfide bridges to explore self-sorting, biomolecular engineering …

Functional materials engineered to degrade upon triggering are in high demand due their
potentially lower impact on the environment as well as their use in sensing and in medical …

The “thio-click” polymerization is a well-expanded concept of click polymerization. Among
the click polymerizations, the thiol–yne click polymerization is less developed and still in its …

Stimuli-responsive, readily functionalizable, and degradable nanogels have great potential
in targeted drug delivery applications. While crosslinked polymeric nanoparticles such as …

As hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors, N, N′-disubstituted sulfamides have been used
in a range of applications from medicinal chemistry to anion-binding catalysis. However …

Cyclic peptide–polymer conjugates are capable of self-assembling into supramolecular
polymeric nanotubes driven by the strong multiple hydrogen bonding interactions between …

The precise synthesis of poly (thioester) s with diverse structures is still a significant
challenge in the polymeric materials field. Herein, we report a novel approach to the …
