    Abstract Snap-through mechanisms are pervasive in everyday life in biological systems, engineered devices, and consumer products. Snap-through transitions can be realized in responsive materials via stimuli-induced mechanical instability. Here, we demonstrate a rapid and powerful snap-through response in liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs). While LCEs have been extensively examined as material actuators, their deformation rate is limited by the second-order character of their phase transition. In this work, we locally pattern the director orientation of LCEs and fabricate mechanical elements with through-thickness (functionally graded) modulus gradients to realize stimuli-induced responses as fast as 6 ms. The rapid acceleration and associated force output of the LCE elements cause the elements to leap to heights over 200 times the material thickness. The experimental examination in functionally graded LCE elements is complemented with computational evaluation of the underlying mechanics. The experimentally validated model is then exercised as a design tool to guide functional implementation, visualized as directional leaping.

    Abstract Michael addition between thiol- and maleimide-functionalized molecules is a long-standing approach used for bioconjugation, hydrogel crosslinking, and the functionalization of other advanced materials. While the simplicity of this chemistry enables facile synthesis of hydrogels, network degradation is also desirable in many instances. Here, the susceptibility of thiol-maleimide bonds to radical-mediated degradation is reported. Irreversible degradation in crosslinked materials is demonstrated using photoinitiated and chemically initiated radicals in hydrogels and linear polymers. The extent of degradation is shown to be dependent on initiator concentration. Using a model linear polymer system, the radical-mediated mechanism of degradation is elucidated, in which the thiosuccinimide crosslink is converted to a succinimide and a new thioether formed with an initiator fragment. Using laser stereolithography, high-fidelity spatiotemporal control over degradation in crosslinked gels is demonstrated. Ultimately, this work establishes a platform for controllable, radical-mediated degradation in thiol-maleimide hydrogels, further expanding their versatility as functional materials.

    Abstract This article describes an efficient enamine organocatalyzed thiol-Michael click reaction and its broad application in cross-linking polymerizations. A series of enamines was shown to catalyze the thiol-Michael reaction via a nucleophilic pathway. By varying the amines as well as the ring size of the ketones, enamines were designed with broad ranges of nucleophilic character ranging from 11 to 17 on the Mayr nucleophilicity scale. Upon evaluating the enamines’ organocatalytic effect on the kinetics of reactions involving a thiol and Michael acceptor, wherein butyl 3-mercaptopropionate and 1-hexyl acrylate were used as model reactants, enamines were shown to outperform their base analogs. The efficiency and overall reaction yields, ranging from 11 to 92% based on the thiol conversion, were highly dependent upon the nucleophilicity of the enamines employed. Interestingly, in situ formation of an enamine via photo-deprotection of an amine in the presence of cyclic ketones facilitated the thiol-Michael reaction efficiently while simultaneously enabling higher functional group conversion. This efficiency in the reaction kinetics and conversion was extended to multifunctional derivatives, which resulted in the formation of highly cross-linked polymers.

    Abstract Thiol-ene networks based on polar and nonpolar monomers at various crosslinking densities were subjected to swelling in organic solvents to measure the Flory–Huggins interaction parameter. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of Flory–Huggins measurements for thiol-ene networks in organic media. Experimentally determined values were compared to those predicted using the Hansen solubility parameter approach with the assistance of the HSPiP software, which is used industrially to determine the miscibility. It was shown that the polymer suite in this software does not adequately account for thioether bonds by underpredicting the dispersive Hansen parameter by roughly 5 MPa⁰.⁵ when corrected to experimental thiol-ene swelling data. Even with corrections for thioether bonds, HSPiP and Hansen solubility parameters, in general, lack the ability to account for structural factors that impact polymer–solvent interaction parameters, especially for crosslinked polymer networks.

    Abstract Reported here, thioester containing microparticles were designed with 40% excess thiol to enable thiol–thioester exchange to facilitate the formation of cohesive films from the particles. A thiol-Michael dispersion polymerization was used to generate thioester containing microparticles with a diameter of 4.0 ± 0.4 μm. The particles were then swollen with a base at varying concentrations to activate the thiol–thioester exchange and subsequently compressed between two glass slides. Resultant films were characterized over time with profilometry and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to infer particle coalescence at different catalyst loadings and times. Tensile tests were performed confirming the structural integrity of the particle-based films. Furthermore, microparticles were welded to a nondynamic network demonstrating feasibility in potential applications to generate materials containing differing mechanical properties. Being able to control the functionality of particles, and thus mechanical properties of the resultant films, is also important for applications in coatings, adhesives, and 3D printing where spatial patterning or selective material property control is needed.

    Abstract Stimuli-responsive degradation of hydrogels has established and emerging utilities ranging from controlled release of biological products to sacrificial molding. Although covalent adaptable networks are particularly amenable for these applications, their degradation kinetics have yet to be clearly elucidated in these swollen material systems. In this work, the thiol–thioester exchange reaction in cross-linked poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels is characterized to determine the relative effects of thiol concentration, pKₐ, and pH on network mass loss and mechanical properties. From these measurements, we identify that network thiols liberated from exchanged thioester cross-links play a significant role in hydrogel degradation, resulting in predictable changes in the storage modulus but nonideal mass loss profiles. These findings highlight how the mechanism of thioester exchange degradation can give rise to useful deviations from ideal degradation behavior, such as amplified degradation rates and linear mass loss profiles. Furthermore, this work empowers the design of on-demand degradable hydrogels with uniquely tunable degradation and mass loss.

    Abstract A new strategy is reported for the design and synthesis of high sulfur-containing materials for potential use in covalent adaptable networks and optical materials by combining photomediated thiol–ene- and disulfide–ene-based polymerization reactions. Taking advantage of the relative reaction rates to differentiate sequentially between the thiol–ene and disulfide–ene conjugations, these reactions were performed semiorthogonally to produce polymer networks of controlled architecture. Kinetic analysis demonstrates that the thiol–ene reaction is approximately 30 times faster than the disulfide–ene reaction, enabling spatial and temporal manipulation of material properties via dual-cure networks and photopatterning. A two-stage polymerization approach was implemented with increases in modulus in the second stage of 2–3 orders of magnitude accompanied by increases in the glass-transition temperature of more than 15 °C. Additionally, the thiol–ene reaction in the presence of a disulfide yields materials capable of simultaneous network development and stress relaxation through dynamic bond exchange during in situ polymerization.

    Abstract A photoprintable dynamic thiol-ene resin was developed based on commercially available anhydride, thiol, and ene monomers. The dynamic chemistry chosen for this study relied on the thermal reversibility of the in situ generated thioester-anhydride links. The resin's rheological and curing properties were optimized to enable 3D printing using the masked stereolithography (MSLA) technique. To achieve a desirable depth of cure of 200 μm, a combination of radical photoinitiator (BAPO) and inhibitor (pyrogallol) were used at a weight ratio of 0.5 to 0.05, resulting in more than 90% thiol-ene conversion within 12 s curing time. In a series of stress relaxation and creep experiments, the dynamic reversible exchange was characterized and yielded rapid exchange rates ranging from minutes to seconds at temperatures of 80-140 °C. Little to no exchange was observed at temperatures below 60 °C. Various 3D geometries were 3D printed, and the printed objects were shown to be reconfigurable above 80 °C and depolymerizable at or above 120 °C. By deactivation of the exchange catalyst (DMAP), the stimuli responsiveness was demonstrated to be erasable, allowing for a significant shift in the actuation threshold. These highly enabling features of the dynamic chemistry open up new possibilities in the field of shape memory and 4D printable functional materials.
