Polytetrahydrofuran macroinimer

Synthesis of hyperbranched poly(tert-butyl acrylate) by self-condensing atom transfer radical polymerization of a macroinimer

“…Poly(ethylene glycol) 18) and poly(tetrahydrofuran) 19) macroinimers have been applied to prepare block and graft branched copolymers, as well as crosslinked networks in conventional free-radical polymerization. These macroinimers behaved as macromonomers, macroinitiators and macrocrosslinkers.…”

Molecular parameters of hyperbranched polymers made by self-condensing vinyl polymerization of macroinimers

“…According to the nomenclature of SCVP, where we coined the term "inimer" for a molecule which consists of a double bond, A, and an initiator moiety, B*, [7,8] a "macroinimer" [21][22][23][24] describes a heterotelechelic macromolecule which consists of exactly the same type of active centers, which are separated by a linear chain consisting of c monomeric units, -(m) c -.…”

Synthesis and properties of regio-regular poly(2-furyloxirane) using tri-isobutyl aluminium as catalyst

“…As a biobased chemical, furfural is prepared by acid-catalyzed depolymerization and dehydration conversion of polysaccharides like hemicellulose and cellulose abundant bagasse or corn cob. Many chemicals based on furfural could be prepared, such as 5-hydroxymethyl furfural, furoic acid, furan and tetrahydrofuran [6,7], therefrom various polymers are obtained, including furan resins, furan-aromatic polyamide, furan based polyester [8][9][10], and polytetrahydrofuran, a very important raw material in polyurethane industry [11,12].…”
