One-Pot Three-Step Polymerization System Using Double Click Michael Addition and Radical Photopolymerization

A click chemistry synthetic strategy based on aza-Michael addition and radical photopolymerization is proposed to generate a polymeric network via three time-controlled steps. The selection of primary diamines and diacrylates allows two consecutive aza-Michael reactions to occur. This reaction sequence affords the unique opportunity to interpose a radical photopolymerization reaction, enhancing the cross-link density. Consequently, the second aza-Michael addition appears as a valuable postconsolidation step of the polymer network
