The formation of functional polymers by implementing small-molecule organic chemistry
reactions to homopolymers has attracted great attention lately due to an increasing number …

The methods for synthesis of promising norbornene monomers from norbornadiene and
quadricyclane are summarized. A strategy for their synthesis is discussed, combining …

Polynorbornenes are ideal materials for systematic structure–property investigations
designed to correlate gas-transport properties to polymer structure. The modular nature of …

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) based on two different MOFs (Cu-BTC and Cu-BDC)
dispersed in Matrimid® 5218 were studied. The synthesized particles were characterized by …

The impact of double bond modification by gem-difluorocyclopropanation (gDFC) in poly
(norbornenes) backbone on their gas transport properties was studied for the first time. With …

Surface-initiated ring-opening metathesis polymerization (SI-ROMP) was employed to
prepare polymer-grafted graphene oxide (GO). Grubbs catalysts were immobilized onto GO …

Surface-attached polydicyclopentadiene (pDCPD) films were prepared on gold and silicon
substrates via surface-initiated ring-opening metathesis polymerization (SI-ROMP) of …

This is a review of papers published in the year 2008 that focus on the synthesis, reactivity,
or properties of compounds containing a carbon-transition metal double or triple bond.

Postpolymerization modification of metathesis Si-containing polynorbornenes by
epoxidation of double bonds of the main chain was carried out for the first time. New …

Surface‐Initiated Ring‐Opening Metathesis Polymerization (SI‐ROMP) has attracted great
attention in the past two decades because of its high efficiency in decorating material …
