Abstract

Polymerization of multifunctional thiol-ene molecules is attractive as a proof of concept in photopolymerization, yet the formation of a bead structure is highly restricted. This manuscript will show graphitic carbon nitride based liquid–liquid printing and subsequent photopolymerization to form thiol-ene polymer beads with extreme simplicity and potential scalability.
