were used as received including isobornyl acrylate (IBOA, Sigma-Aldrich),
isobornyl methacrylate (VWR), and styrene (Acros Organics). The AB–L
complex, tri-n-butylborane 3-methoxypropylamine,
was donated from Callory LLC (Pittsburgh, PA) and stored in a glovebox.
All other reagents, including isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI, 98%,
Sigma-Aldrich), methacrylic acid (TCI Chemicals), polyhedral oligomeric
silsesquioxane with eight acrylopropyl groups (90%, Hybrid Plastics),
and Super P carbon black (99+%, Alfa Aesar), were used as received.
All polymer substrates were ordered from McMaster-Carr and cut into
10.2 × 2.5 × 0.3 cm (4 × 1 × 1/8 inch) specimens
from original bars of 38 × 1 × 1/8 inch. The polymer substrates
include polypropylene (part number: 8782K11), polycarbonate (part
number: 1749K119), high-density polyethylene (part number: 8671K11),
polytetrafluoroethylene (part number: 8735K12), nylon 66 (part number:
8733K11), polyvinylchloride (part number: 8740K11), and polymethylmethacrylate
(part number: 1227T119).
