Recent
research into inverse vulcanisation has shown how this excess sulfur can be
transformed into functional polymers, by stabilization with organic
crosslinkers. For these interesting new materials to realise their potential
for applications, more understanding and control of their physical properties
is needed. Here we report four new terpolymers prepared from sulfur and two
distinct alkene monomers that can be predictively tuned in glass transition,
molecular weight, solubility, mechanical properties, and colour.
