Dynamic Covalent Polymers via Inverse Vulcanization of Elemental Sulfur for Healable Infrared Optical Materials
Abstract
We report on dynamic covalent polymers derived from elemental sulfur that can be used as thermally healable optical polymers for mid-IR thermal imaging applications. By accessing dynamic S–S bonds in these sulfur copolymers, surface scratches and defects of free-standing films of poly(sulfur-random-1,3-diisopropenylbenzene) (poly(S-r-DIB) can be thermally healed, which enables damaged lenses and windows from these materials to be reprocessed to recover their IR imaging performance. Correlation of the mechanical properties of these sulfur copolymers with different curing methods provided insights to reprocess damaged samples of these materials. Mid-IR thermal imaging experiments with windows before and after healing of surface defects demonstrated successful application of these materials to create a new class of “scratch and heal” optical polymers. The use of dynamic covalent polymers as healable materials for IR applications offers a unique advantage over the current state of the art (e.g., germanium or chalcogenide glasses) due to both the dynamic character and useful optical properties of S–S bonds.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
