Tetrahydrofuran: More than a “Randomizer” in the Living Anionic Copolymerization of Styrene and Isoprene: Kinetics, Microstructures, Morphologies, and Mechanical Properties
The statistical anionic copolymerization of isoprene (I) and styrene (S) is commonly used to synthesize tapered block copolymers, enabling control of the phase behavior by adjusting the order–disor...
Multi-olefin containing polyethers and triazolinediones: a powerful alliance
Multi-functional polyethers with ene or diene moieties were prepared via the polymerisation of tailored functional glycidyl ether monomers to create a platform for click chemistry with triazolinediones (TADs). Specifically, two novel monomers (i) 2,4-hexadien-1-yl glycidyl ether (HDEGE) and (ii) citronellyl glycidyl ether (CitroGE), designed to undergo a Diels–Alder or Alder–Ene reaction with TADs, respectively, were synthesized and subsequently transformed into a variety of tailored polyethers, either via the monomer activated method or anionic ring opening polymerisation. Multi-functional copolymers of HDEGE with ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and ethoxy ethyl glycidyl ether as well as A…
