Catalytic inverse vulcanization

Inverse vulcanization allows stable polymers to be made from elemental sulfur, but development is restricted by cross-linkers and the elevated temperatures required. Here the authors report a catalytic method for a wide range of cross-linkers and found a reduced reaction temperature and reaction tim...
