Post-Functionalized Vinyl-Addition Polynorbornenes as Modular Platforms for Anion Exchange Membranes: Structure–Property Relationships

Abstract Fully hydrocarbon-based anion exchange membranes (AEMs) were developed through a facile post-polymerization strategy using vinyl-addition polynorbornene (VA-PNB) backbones. A high-molecular-weight poly(5-vinyl-2-norbornene) (PVNB) precursor was synthesized via chemoselec...

Polyolefins Derived from 5-Vinyl-2-norbornene as Platforms for Functional Polymers

Abstract 5-Vinyl-2-norbornene (VNB) is a cyclic olefin monomer containing a norbornenyl double bond and a vinyl double bond. Selective insertion of the norbornenyl double bond during the Ziegler–Natta homopolymerization and copolymerization of VNB produces polyolefins bearing pen...

Kinetic principles of living anionic polymerization of isocyanates for constructing complex primary structures in helical polyisocyanates

Abstract Living anionic polymerization of isocyanates enabled the synthesis of well‐defined helical polyisocyanates. However, its potential to generate complex primary structures remained largely unexplored. The possibility that polyisocyanates could serve as artificial models of...
