Fast Oxygen Scavenging of Macroporous Poly(Norbornadiene) Prepared by Ring‐Opening Metathesis Polymerization

Voltage-assisted capillary LC of peptides using monolithic capillary columns prepared by ring-opening metathesis polymerization.

We examined the use of monolithic capillary columns prepared via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) for peptide separation in voltage-assisted capillary LC (voltage-assisted CLC). In order to demonstrate their potential for peptide separation, ROMP-derived monoliths with RP properties were prepared. The preparation procedure of monoliths was transferred from ROMP monoliths optimized ...

Photolithographic olefin metathesis polymerization.

Patterning functional materials is a central challenge across many fields of science. The ability to lithographically fabricate micro- and nanostructures has been one of the most impactful technological breakthroughs of the last century. In part due to the complexity of the chemical processes in photoresists, there is a limited variety of materials that can currently be patterned by photolithog...

Synthesis of Macroporous Polystyrene by the Polymerization of Foamed Emulsions**

Supramolecular polymerization of a ureidopyrimidinone‐based [2]catenane prepared via ring‐closing metathesis

The synthesis and supramolecular polymerization of a ureidopyrimidinone-based Sauvage-type [2]catenane is reported. The monomer synthesis explores many routes using the elegant metathesis catalysts of Bob Grubbs, yielding a catenane with one ureidopyrimidinone in each cycle. The supramolecular polymer obtained features both mechanical bonds and quadruple hydrogen bonding connections.

Polyterpenes by ring opening metathesis polymerization of caryophyllene and humulene

Polymers with their myriad functions are indispensable to any modern technology. Today, their production is largely based on fossil fuels. In view of their limited range, other sources are desirable on the long term. Beyond such considerations, renewable resources are also attractive as they can contain unique chemical structures. Thus, carbohydrates, fatty acids or terpenes contain a wealth of...
