To advance a strategy of polymer-to-polymer upcycling of waste polyolefin by dehydrogenation then functionalization, we report successful hydroesterification of polycyclooctene (PCOE), an analogue for partially unsaturated polyethylene. Here, we convert PCOE to a linear analog for poly(ethylene-coethyl acrylate) (EEA) across a range of ethyl acrylate incorporations (0 to 18 mol % of ethylene units). The ester incorporation was well controlled by reaction time, and the remaining C�C bonds were subsequently hydrogenated. The bulky ethyl acrylate groups did not incorporate into orthorhombic PE crystals, decreasing the crystallinity, crystallite size, and melting temperature with increasing functionalization. Additionally, hydroesterification tuned the dynamic mechanical properties, decreasing both the glass transition temperature and the storage modulus in the rubbery regime with greater functionalization. The linear EEA analogs reported here achieve remarkable extensibility (strain > 4000%) and high toughness, comparable to commercial random and branched EEA. Ultimately, we demonstrate successful conversion of an analogue to dehydrogenated PE to a linear EEA with favorable mechanical properties.
