Book excerpt: Modern synthetic polymer chemistry is defined by control over macromolecular architecture. Among controlled polymerization schemes, ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) represents one of the most widely adopted strategies for precision polymer synthesis. Advances in metal-alkylidene initiator technologies have enabled access to polymers with unrivalled degrees of microstructural control via ROMP. Unfortunately, relying on stoichiometric amounts of organometallic initiators can be cost prohibitive and limit the utility of ROMP materials in metal-sensitive applications like biomedicine or electronics. Therefore, recent effort has been devoted to developing metal-free approaches to ROMP (MF-ROMP). The Boydston group has developed a strategy which relies on organic initiators and photoredox catalysts to achieve MF-ROMP. Despite precluding the deleterious metallic byproducts inherent to metal-mediated ROMP, MF-ROMP remains limited in comparison to metal-mediated approaches to ROMP. Outstanding challenges in MF-ROMP include achieving a high degree of control over polymer microstructure, the incorporation of functional (co)monomers in MF-ROMP materials, and conducting polymerizations in nonpolar media. My doctoral research has begun to address these challenges. First, I was part of a collaborative team that discovered an ion-pairing approach to stereoselectivity during MF-ROMP that affords materials with tunable alkene stereochemistry using simple to change reaction parameters. During a further investigation we discovered that ion-pairing can also be used to improve the molecular weight control of MF-ROMP. These findings directly led to the discovery that active esters are readily polymerizable under MF-ROMP conditions. Post-polymerization modification of these materials provided access to a diverse array of functionalized MF-ROMP polymers for the first time. Separately, I was also on a team that developed a method for the C-H functionalization and allylic amination of ROMP polynorbornenes (poly(NBEs)). Notably, our approach to C-H functionalization yielded materials with high and tunable degrees of amination without consuming or transposing the alkenes in the polymers' backbones. In combination these discoveries highlight the utility of catalysis to access polymeric architectures that are otherwise inaccessible.

Download or read book Late Transition Metal Polymerization Catalysis written by Bernhard Rieger and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-03-06 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the start of the 1950s, Ziegler and Natta discovered that simple metallorganic catalysts are capable of transforming olefins into linear polymers with highly ordered structures. This pioneering discovery was recognized with a Nobel Prize in 1963. In the 80s and 90s, the development of molecular defined metallocenes led to a renaissance for non-polar polyolefin materials. Designer catalysts allowed a greater precision in defining properties of the material. The past 10 years have seen the discovery of new catalysts based on late transition metals, which allow the combination of polar monomers with non-polar olefins and thus lead to innovative materials. Here, the world's leading authors from industry and academia describe the latest developments in this fascinating field for the first time in such comprehensive detail. In so doing, they introduce readers systematically to the basic principles and show how these new catalysts can effectively be used for polymerization reactions. This makes the book an ideal and indispensable reference for specialists, advanced students, and scientists of various disciplines dealing with research into catalysts and materials science.

Download or read book Organometallic Catalysts and Olefin Polymerization written by R. Blom and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Catalysis is more art than science", probably all of you have heard and even used this expression. Whether it is true or not, it alludes to the experience that new catalysts are hard to find, and near impossible to predict. Hard work and a lifetime of experience is invaluable. However, a keen mind might give insight into where to search, but not necessarily about where to find the answers. Historically, "quantum leaps" have often arisen from serendipity - we all know the story about the nickel-contaminated reactor that triggered further research towards the first coordination catalyst for ethene polymerization. Taking advan tage of this event, Karl Ziegler became the first chemist to earn both a Nobel prize and a fortune for the same invention. A broken NMR tube helped Walter Kaminsky discover the effect of high concentrations of methylaluminoxanes as co catalysts for metallocenes. When air reacted with the concentrated trim ethyl aluminum solution, sufficient amounts of methylaluminoxanes were formed, and the lazy catalyst dormant in the NMR tube suddenly became sensationally active. Ziegler and Kaminsky were lucky and had the genius needed to take advantage of their luck.

Download or read book Modification of Polymers written by Charles E. Carraher and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sheer volume of topics which could have been included under our general title prompted us to make some rather arbitrary decisions about content. Modification by irradiation is not included because the activity in this area is being treated elsewhere. We have chosen to emphasize chemical routes to modification and have striven to pre sent as balanced a representation of current activity as time and page count permit. Industrial applications, both real and potential, are included. Where appropriate, we have encouraged the contributors to include review material to help provide the reader with adequate context. The initial chapter is a review from a historical perspective of polymer modification and contains an extensive bibliography. The remainder of the book is divided into four general areas: Reactions and Preparation of Copolymers Reactions and Preparation of Block and Graft Copolymers Modification Through Condensation Reactions Applications The chemical modification of homopolymers such as polyvinylchlo ride, polyethylene, poly(chloroalkylene sulfides), polysulfones, poly chloromethylstyrene, polyisobutylene, polysodium acrylate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl chloroformate, sulfonated polystyrene; block and graft copolymers such as poly(styrene-block-ethylene-co-butylene block-styrene), poly(I,4-polybutadiene-block ethylene oxide), star chlorine-telechelic polyisobutylene, poly(isobutylene-co-2,3-dimethyl- 1,3-butadiene), poly(styrene-co-N-butylmethacrylate); cellulose, dex tran and inulin, is described.
