Ruthenium-based catalysts for the ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of functionalized cyclic olefins

摘要

Recent developments in Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization (and copolymerization) of functionalized cycloolefins with well-defined ruthenium-based initiators are summarized and illustrated with synthesis of graft copolymers, telechelic and liquid crystalline polymers, glycopolymers and unsaturated ester-functionalized oligomers.
