Commercially available polymer resins such as Merrifield resin have been extensively used
as supports in the heterogenization of homogenous catalysts, allowing easier recovery and …

This Viewpoint highlights the viability and increasing variety of functionalized
polypentenamers as unique and valuable materials created through enthalpy-driven ring …

Living-like conditions through ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of low ring
strain monomers were achieved through temperature variation during the reaction. For a …

Polystyrene was synthesized and applied as a template for fabricating hollow silica
nanoparticles. Organic solvent and water were used as a solvent and an anti-solvent …

Polypentenamer macroinitiators are synthesized through variable temperature ring opening
metathesis polymerization of 3-cyclopentenyl α-bromoisobutyrate, which has sufficient ring …

A general method for the arm-first synthesis of star polymers through a formal A 2+ B 3 step-
growth process is introduced. The synthesis relies on copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne …

The reinforcement of thermoplastic polyester is very valuable in the fabrication of advanced
films, specialty fibers, and engineering plastics. However, mainstream reinforcement …

Polydicyclopentadiene (PDCPD) is a durable, highly cross-linked material that is used
industrially for the production of automotive body panels among other applications. We …

A series of allylic substituted cyclopentene monomers with increasing steric bulk are
investigated by ring opening metathesis polymerization to understand the effects of these …

This is a review of papers published in the year 2016 that focus on the synthesis, reactivity,
or properties of compounds containing a carbon-transition metal double or triple bond …
