Recent discovery of inverse vulcanization have set up a facile protocol to synthesize versatile high sulfur content polymers. Despite the variety of available comonomers, the chemistry of inverse vulcanization is limited to the addition of thiyl radicals, generated from sulfur, to unsaturated C-C bonds of comonomers. Such lack in the available chemistry poses a major obstacle in modulating physicochemical properties of resultant polymers. To develop new classes of monomers with new modes of reaction in the process, we herein report the use of epoxide-bearing allyl glycidyl ether (AGE) as comonomer which results in the formation of stable, low Tg polymers. Furthermore, electrochemical performance and dynamic mechanical behavior, especially shape memory effect of the polymer was systematically studied to demonstrate its versatile functionalities.
