Molecular Design and Polymerization Behavior of Monomers Polymerizable via Radical Ring-opening

摘要

Radical ring-opening polymerization (R-ROP) possesses the versatility of radical polymerization and the utility of ring-opening polymerization that functional groups can be introduced into the polymer backbone. Therefore, R-ROP is one of the most promising methods for the preparation of functional polymers. In this paper, we describe the molecular design and polymerization behavior of various cyclic molecules capable of undergoing R-ROP.
