METATHESIS DEPOLYMERIZATION USING ACRYLATES

摘要

Olefin metathesis between an acrylate monomer and a polyene comprising molecule or polymer is employed as a method of cross-metathesizing or depolymerizing the molecule. The metathesis reaction forms a telechelic acrylate molecule that is a monomer, oligomer or polymer. The telechelic acrylate molecule can be employed as a monomer for condensation polymerization.
