Abstract
Abstract Main-chain metallopolymers are synthesized by olefin metathesis polymerizations. These polymers are mainly produced through acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization and ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). The special metal moieties, metal-binding motifs, and unsaturated macromolecular backbone endow the metallopolymers with unique properties. This review highlights recent advances in studies on the family of main-chain metallopolymers carrying both main-group and transition metals by olefin metathesis polymerizations. We emphasize the synthesis, physiochemical properties, and applications of these polymers. Synthetic strategies are discussed from a perspective of the structure-activity relationship between monomers and polymerization efficiency. The correlations between macromolecular compositions/sequences and emerging properties are highlighted in terms of stimuli-responsiveness, conductivity, and crystalline characteristics. Lastly, we describe the current status of the field and highlight gray areas for future research.
期刊介绍:
Polymer Reviews is a reputable publication that focuses on timely issues within the field of macromolecular science and engineering. The journal features high-quality reviews that have been specifically curated by experts in the field. Topics of particular importance include biomedical applications, organic electronics and photonics, nanostructures, micro- and nano-fabrication, biological molecules (such as DNA, proteins, and carbohydrates), polymers for renewable energy and environmental applications, and interdisciplinary intersections involving polymers.
The articles in Polymer Reviews fall into two main categories. Some articles offer comprehensive and expansive overviews of a particular subject, while others zero in on the author's own research and situate it within the broader scientific landscape. In both types of articles, the aim is to provide readers with valuable insights and advancements in the field of macromolecular science and engineering.
