Conspectus Cyclopropenes (CPEs) are highly strained cyclic olefins, yet there are
surprisingly limited examples leveraging their high strain energy for polymerization. In the …

Nature shows us that complex molecular architectures lead to unique material properties,
and these observations have driven polymer scientists to synthesize complex architectures …

Commercially available Vince lactam and its derivatives are copolymerized with 2, 3-
dihydrofuran (DHF) in a living fashion based on the unique reactivity of Ru Fischer carbene …

In a conventional living ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), an equal number
of ruthenium complexes to the number of polymer chains synthesized are required. This can …

A catalytic living ring‐opening metathesis copolymerization (ROMP) method is described
that relies on a degenerative, reversible and regioselective exchange of propagating Fischer …

Diene rubbers are polymeric materials which present elastic properties and have double
bonds in the macromolecular backbone after the polymerization process. Post …

Ruthenium‐mediated olefin metathesis has been widely applied for the synthesis of various
organic molecules and polymers. Inspired by the cocatalyst strategy for olefin …

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

The functionalization of the chain end of a polymer is gathering increasing attention in the
field of synthetic polymer chemistry. The present study is the first example to demonstrate the …

Norbornene derivatives are typical monomers for ring-opening metathesis polymerization
(ROMP) for synthesizing highly functional polymers. However, the lack of catalytic methods …
