In this review, we outline examples that illustrate the design criteria for achieving
macromolecular assemblies that incorporate a combination of two or more chemical …

Polyesters have been studied intensely over the last few decades and proved to be suitable
for a wide range of applications. Despite all benefits, drawbacks such as eg the acidification …

This short, introductory review covers the still rapidly growing and industrially important field
of ring opening polymerization (ROP). The review is organized according to mechanism …

Polyolefins are the most important and largest volume plastics produced. Unfortunately, the
enormous use of plastics and lack of effective disposal or recycling options have created a …

In the two decades since the introduction of the “click chemistry” concept, the toolbox of “click
reactions” has continually expanded, enabling chemists, materials scientists, and biologists …

This article features the current state of research in olefin metathesis polymerization
techniques towards the synthesis of functional polymeric materials. Emphasis is laid on work …

Biomolecule-polymer conjugates are constructs that take advantage of the functional or
otherwise beneficial traits inherent to biomolecules and combine them with synthetic …

Conspectus Cross-linking of polymers significantly alters their physical properties, greatly
expanding their everyday utility. Indeed, the polymeric networks resulting from linkages …

The introduction of even a small amount of polar functional groups into polyolefins could
excise great control over important material properties. As the most direct and economic …

Enol ethers are widely used as quenching reagents for Grubbs catalysts. However, we
report the surprisingly effective ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of cyclic …
