Group Transfer Polymerization of Methacryl-Type Poly(2-oxazoline) Macromonomers

Radical polymerization approach for ring opened oxanorbornene anhydride based macromonomers

In this work, we synthesized end group functionalization of the cis-Norbornene-5-6-endo-dicarboxylic anhydride species via the ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of oxanorbornene derivatives generated a chiseled poly(cis-Norbornene-5-6-endo-Dicarboxylic anhydride) acrylate macromonomer. Further, acrylate oxanorbornene based macromonomer further polymerized via reversible addition fra...

Sequence-controlled polymerization using dendritic macromonomers: precise chain-positioning of bulky functional clusters.

A simple strategy to insert functional dendrons at precise positions along a linear polymer backbone is reported. Sequence controlled copolymerization of styrene and polyester dendrons containing a maleimide unit at their focal points was utilized to yield such polymers.

Toward Hybrid Materials: Group Transfer Polymerization of 3-(Trimethoxysilyl)propyl Methacrylate.

In this study, the group transfer polymerization (GTP) of the functional monomer 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TMSPMA) is reported to produce polymers of different architectures and topologies. TMSPMA is successfully polymerized and copolymerized with GTP to produce well-defined (co)polymers that can be used to fabricate functional hybrid materials like hydrogels and films.
