During the last two decades, poly (dicyclopentadiene) prepared by Ring-opening Metathesis
Polymerisation has emerged as an important competitor for epoxy-and polyester resins. This …

Convenient strategies for the deconstruction and reprocessing of thermosets could improve
the circularity of these materials, but most approaches developed to date do not involve …

Frontal polymerization (FP) is a self-propagating reaction in which the reactive zone
propagates through a monomer solution at a steady velocity. Using FP, polymeric materials …

“Drop-in” additives that introduce chemically cleavable bonds into thermosets without
compromising thermomechanical properties could enable triggered material deconstruction …

Linear oligomers of dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) are reactive precursors for thermoplastic and
thermoset materials. Unlike the foul-smelling parent monomer, oligomers composed of …

Chemical cross-links within polymers increase mechanical strength and rigidity. Such cross-
links can be either irreversible (eg, those derived from carbon–carbon bonds) or reversible …

Three types of tricycloalkyl-containing methacrylate with methyl methacrylate copolymers,
poly (adamantyl methacrylate-co-methyl methacrylate)[P (ADMA-co-MMA)], poly …

Polydicyclopentadiene (PDCPD) was attractive in marine, automotive and new energy
fields, but limited by its lower rigidity. Herein, poly (dicyclopentadiene-co …

Polydicyclopentadiene (PDCPD) is a thermoset polymer that is valued in industry for its
excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance, and chemical tolerance. However, the …

In an effort to broaden the utility of the industrially used ROMP polymer
polydicyclopentadiene, we introduced an ester-functionalized dicyclopentadiene monomer …
