To review the reaction mechanism, photopolymerization kinetics, and diverse material and biological applications of radical-mediated thiol-ene click chemistry.
Narrative synthesis of chemical literature evaluating the radical-mediated thiol-ene reaction mechanism.
Survey of implementation across synthetic methodologies, surface modifications, biomolecule conjugation, and polymer network design.
Characterizes thiol-ene additions as rapid, highly efficient click reactions that yield no side products under mild conditions.
Demonstrates that photoinitiation grants fine spatial and temporal control during polymerization, resulting in highly uniform cross-linked polymer networks.
Confirms versatile application across polymer synthesis, biofunctionalization, and targeted surface engineering.
