| 摘要 |
A Tulipalin A-based hydroxyl-functionalized (hf) polymer is synthesized by converting, via a ring opening reaction, poly(Tulipalin A) or poly(Tulipalin A-co-acrylic) in the presence of a nucleophilic monomer and a catalyst. The nucleophilic monomer may be, for example, a nitrogen-containing monomer such as Dimethylamine. The poly(Tulipalin A) or the poly(Tulipalin A-co-acrylic) may be prepared, for example, via free radical polymerization using an initiator such as AIBN. Any suitable free radically copolymerizable monomer, such as N,N-Dimethylmethacrylamide, may be used in the preparation of the poly(Tulipalin A-co-acrylic). In some embodiments, an engineered material is prepared from the Tulipalin A-based hydroxyl-functionalized polymer using hydroxyl groups present therein as synthetic handles through which a plethora of useful properties can be directly engineered into the material. |
