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 …

Polymer networks remain an essential class of soft materials. Despite their use in everyday
materials, connecting the molecular structure of the network to its macroscopic properties …

A comb-like dual hydrophilic graft chitosan terpolymer, chitosan grafted with both poly [(2-
dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate] and poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) or, simply, CS (-g …

Here we report the modification of an amphiphilic antibacterial polynorbornene, Poly3, via
incorporation of hydrophilic, biocompatible groups. The sugar, zwitterionic, and polyethylene …

We present two novel allyl-based terminating agents that can be used to end-functionalize
living polymer chains obtained by ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) using …

Foundational materials for nonfouling coatings were designed and synthesized from a
series of novel dual-functional zwitterionic polymers, Poly [NRZI], which were easily …

The selective placement of a functional group at the chain end of a ring-opening metathesis
polymer using ruthenium carbene initiators has been a significant limitation. Here we …

We report synthesis and characterization of a new class of side-chain liquid crystalline
random terpolymers (SCLCP), its cross-linked network (SCLCN), and the corresponding …

Ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) is a technique that allows the synthesis of
well‐defined linear polyolefins. Polymerization‐induced self‐assembly (PISA) involves the …

ω-Oxanorbornenyl poly (ethylene oxide) monomethyl ether macromonomers were
synthesized with molecular weights ranging from 500 g/mol to 5000 g/mol through the …
