چکیده

A new strategy is presented for the synthesis of graft copolymers using only the ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). From a ROMP-derived main chain, pendant maleimide functional groups are converted into norbornene moieties via a Diels-Alder reaction with cyclopentadiene. The norbornene groups serve as sites of initiation, and subsequent ROMP from the main chain yields graft copolymers with both main and side chains derived from ROMP. This strategy offers ready access to defined graft copolymers.

Drug-loaded, bivalent-bottle-brush polymers by graft-through ROMP.

Graft-through ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) using ruthenium N-heterocyclic carbene catalysts has enabled the synthesis of bottle-brush polymers with unprecedented ease and control. Here we report the first bivalent-brush polymers; these materials were prepared by graft-through ROMP of drug-loaded polyethylene-glycol (PEG) based macromonomers (MMs). Anticancer drugs doxorubicin (...

General synthetic route to cell-permeable block copolymers via ROMP.

The applications of block copolymers are myriad, ranging from electronics to functionalized resins to therapeutics. The ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) is an especially valuable reaction for block copolymer assembly because each block can be generated with length control. We sought to use this polymerization to expand the repertoire of block copolymers by implementing a strategy t...

Solid-phase synthesis of polymers using the ring-opening metathesis polymerization.

We report a general method for the solid-phase synthesis of polymers via the ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). The method involves polymerization in solution to form a block copolymer, immobilization of the polymer via reaction of one block with a resin-bound functional group, modification of the other block, and liberation of the polymer from the resin. We demonstrated the utility...

Synthesis of functionalizable and degradable polymers by ring-opening metathesis polymerization.

A valuable approach for creating synthetic polymers is the ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). Welldefined metal carbene catalysts have been devised that afford control over the polymer chain length and architecture. In addition, ruthenium carbene initiators have been developed with excellent air stability and functional group tolerance. These catalysts enable the synthesis of polyme...

Synthesis and Characterization of a Novel Carbazole- containing Branched Random Copolymer Derived from α-Norbornene Methylene Polystyrene Macromonomer via Ring-opening Metathesis Polymerization

A novel method for preparing α-norbornene methylene polystyrene macromonomer (NBMPSt) is reported. NBMPSt macromonomer ( Mn = 1.60 × 10 and PDI = 1.26) had glass transition temperature (Tg) of 107 C for polystyrene segment. Since the homopolymerization of NBMPSt macromonomer with number average molecular weight ( Mn ) 1.60 ×10 could not be carried out by ring-opening metathesis polymerization (...
