Summary: A novel silicone flame retardant PMDA was synthesized and blended with a commercial thiol-ene (TE) to obtain a flame-retardant TE (FRTE) composite. The addition of PMDA improved the flame retardancy of the TE composite, as shown by cone calorimeter measurement. The thermal stability and degradation mechanism of FRTE in nitrogen were studied by thermogravimetric analysis. The activation energies of the FRTE degradation were found to be higher than those of neat TE, indicating improved thermal stability.

Summary: Polysilsesquioxane (PSQ) is combined with pentacene to create thin-film transistors (TFTs) by incorporating 3-mercaptopropyl functional groups for thiol-ene polymerization. The dielectric constant of the polymerized PSQ films is controlled by the ratio of 3-mercaptopropyl groups. The hole mobility of the fabricated pentacene TFTs increases as the dielectric constant decreases.

Summary: A novel dual-curing procedure combining radical UV-initiated reaction and thermal thiol-epoxy reaction was developed in this work. Optimal thiol amount is essential for obtaining cross-linked materials with good mechanical performance and avoiding dripping of free monomers during storage. Glycidyl methacrylate in combination with trifunctional meth(acrylates) allows gelation in the 1st stage and acts as a covalent coupling between (meth)acrylates and epoxy networks.
