Redesigning polyolefins. (IMAGE)
Caption
(a) Redesigning traditional polyolefin copolymers (from copolymerization of ethylene with α-olefin) to novel branched PE via the chain-walking homopolymerization of ethylene, and redesigning of traditional post-polymerization functionalized polyolefin via the copolymerization of ethylene and polar comonomers. (b) Redesigning traditional non-degradable polyolefins into degradable and recyclable polyolefin-like materials via condensation polymerization. (c) Redesigning traditional non-degradable polyolefins into degradable and recyclable thermosets, thermoplastics, and elastomeric polyolefin-like materials via cyclic–acyclic monomer metathesis polymerization (CAMMP). FG: functional group; Ph: phenyl.
