Specifically, initiators for continuous activator regeneration (ICAR) atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) afforded materials with tailored glass transition temperature (<i>T</i> _g) and incorporation of furan and norbornene functionalities within a single chain. The terpolymer with high furan and norbornene functionality (Ter2: <i>F</i> _FMA = 0.42, <i>F</i> _EGDEMA = 0.46, <i>F</i> _C13MA = 0.12) is crosslinked to form single-crosslinked reversible networks with 1,1'-(methylenedi-4,1-phenRSC advancesPhoto-crosslinked Diels-Alder and thiol-ene polymer networks.PMC11697258Discovery Grant/RGPIN-2024-04619Vadasz Doctoral FellowshipsCanada Graduate ScholarshipAlrefai MMaric MfalsePhoto-crosslinked Diels-Alder and thiol-ene polymer networks.Compositions of ethylene glycol dicyclopentenyl ether methacrylate (EGDEMA), a vegetable oil based alkyl methacrylate (C13MA), and furfuryl methacrylate (FMA) were terpolymerized for dual-crosslinked networks with tailored mechanical and thermal properties.
