Polymers have many advantages such as low weight, low cost, and, importantly, stability
under thermal, chemical, and mechanical stress. This stability, on the other hand, leads to …

Frontal ring-opening metathesis polymerization (FROMP) is a rapid, low-energy
manufacturing reaction that is useful for curing thermosetting materials. FROMP of …

Fluoroalkenes are known to be notoriously reluctant substrates for olefin metathesis due to
the generation of thermodynamically stable Fischer-type fluorocarbene intermediates, which …

Degradable polymers made via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) hold
tremendous promise as eco-friendly materials. However, most of the ROMP monomers are …

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 …

A catalytic living ring‐opening metathesis copolymerization (ROMP) method is described
