Monomers or N-alkoxyamine initiators containing protected thiol groups are utilized to prepare polymers via nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization. Following thiol deprotection, the macromolecular properties of these polymers are manipulated, by adjusting the redox conditions to either form or cleave disulfide bonds, or irreversibly cap free thiols by the rapid addition to a maleimide Michael acceptor. Formation of disulfide bonds under dilute conditions results in intramolecular disulfide formation, resulting in internal polymer collapse. Alternatively, disulfide formation under high concentration results in intermolecular crosslinking of polymers to form networked macromolecular assemblies.
