Abstract
We report the mild functionalization of polystyrene with primary amines and other nitrogen groups through sp3 C–H imination. This process significantly increases hydrophilicity without deterioration of molecular weight or thermal properties, and provides a handle for further covalent modification. This work will enable the upcycling and diversification of commodity polyolefins.
期刊介绍:
Polymer Chemistry welcomes submissions in all areas of polymer science that have a strong focus on macromolecular chemistry. Manuscripts may cover a broad range of fields, yet no direct application focus is required.
