Abstract
This chapter aims at showing how reaching functional oligomers and polymers by thiol-ene radical coupling. According to the vinyl monomers used, different strategies can be adapted in order to reach either monofunctional or telechelic oligomers. For example combination of thiol-ene radical coupling onto a functional monomer provides high value oligomers such as silane-coupling agents for composite materials. This chapter also gathers thiol-ene radical coupling onto vinyl-containing polymers, which leads to partial modification of the properties. Finally, we showed how thiol-ene radical coupling allows performing the synthesis of block copolymers such as PMMA-b-PDMS-b-PMMA.
