Rapid synthesis of diol homolog-based thermosets with tunable propertiesviaring-opening metathesis polymerization

Abstract

This work aims to generate diols into thermosets with tunable properties. A series of diols-derived monomers have been synthesized and characterized. After mixing second-generation Grubbs’ catalyst, these liquid monomers polymerize...

Achieving performance‐advantaged polydicyclopentadiene via sequential ring‐opening metathesis polymerization and radical reaction

“…1,2 Because of its good mechanical properties and corrosion resistant properties, it is used in for example the manufacturing of agricultural equipment, of circuit boards, of chemical pipes and of complex parts. [3][4][5][6][7] PDCPD also gives us constant surprise: the polymerization features make it available for instance in rapid energy-efficient manufacturing and 3D printing, [8][9][10][11][12] fabricating autonomic healing materials, foams and patterns [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] and designing degradable thermosets. [22][23][24][25][26] A large number of investigations on PDCPD have been performed; nonetheless, lots of work still needs to be done.…”

Facile Approach for the Synthesis of Performance-Advantaged Degradable Bio-Based Thermoset via Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization from Epoxidized Soybean Oil

“…We also focus on generating ESO in polymeric materials. Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) can rapidly convert monomers into polymers, which reduces the energy, making it a remarkable method for preparation of polymeric materials. − This contribution thereupon attempts to synthesize ESO-based thermosets via ROMP. Norbornene-functionalized ESO was synthesized from ESO first; then, it was converted into a thermoset.…”
