The impact of dynamic bonding associations on the rheology of amine containing polyolefins
摘要
Polyolefins are utilized in a wide array of applications due to their desirable and predictable properties. The incorporation of polar functional groups into the nonpolar backbone imparts an opportunity to further tune the properties and broaden the application space. Among the library of H–bonding chemistries that have been implemented via post-polymerization modifications, amines are of particular interest due to their challenging syntheses. The discovery of a two-step catalytic combination of hydroaminoalkylation and ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) has opened access to a new class of amine containing polyolefins, transforming simple starting materials into polar-functionalized polymers with complete atom economy. New rheological properties emerge due to the dynamic associative interactions, including H–bonding,
