FUNCTIONALIZED MATERIALS BY CATALYZED CARBENE COPOLYMERIZATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a stereoregular copolymer having the general formula 1: (-CHR1-)n wherein the copolymer comprises a chain of n carbon atoms, each carbon atom bearing a R1 group, each R1 group being independently selected from the group consisting of: -H and hydrocarbyl-groups having between 1 and 50 carbon atoms and optionally one or more hetero atoms, and wherein the copolymer comprises at least two different R1 groups, and wherein n is an integer ranging from 50 to 1000000. The present invention also relates to a method for preparing such copolymers.
