 This invention demonstrates the synthesis of cyclic allyl sulfide small molecule that incorporates into acrylates and styrenic polymer and fosters robust reprocess-ability through radically initiated scission and extension. 

This invention provides a simple, fast, economical and scalable method for making porous, light-weight hard materials, such as aerogels. The method involves the use of polymer-assisted rapid thermal annealing, eliminating uneconomical steps used in conventional methods such as long thermal treatments, etching, and freeze-drying.
