Degradable thermosets via orthogonal polymerizations of a single monomer - Nature Degradable thermoset multimaterials can be synthesized from a commercially accessible, biosourced monomer using orthogonal polymerizations in a single pot; after selective degredation, the resulting s...

Oh my 2,3-dihydrofuran,
I don’t know know any monomer cooler than
Thee.

Your cyclic vinyl ether,
Makes thermosetting so much easier
For me:

You ROMP in the dark, Crosslink in the light,
Recycle to monomer under vacuum overnight.
Degrade in acid or with a lot of O2,
Oh DHF this is an ode to you.

I'm sorry, but since when is IC (or any ACS journal, for that matter) allowing value judgements in titles?
