Thiol X chemistries in polymer and materials science Thiol X chemistries are already well established techniques but it is only recently that they have been exploited for the functionalization and synthesis of polymers and other materials. As such information on these techniques is scattered across the literature and Thiol X Chemistries in Polymer and Materials Science is the first book to compile work specifically focussing on the application of thiol based chemistries in materials design and synthesis. The book introduces the various thiol X chemistries currently available and applications where they have been successfully used including ex
