Porous polymers from norbornene derivatives

In the paper porous polymeric materials recently obtained from norbornene derivatives are presented. Up to now three groups of polynorbornenes exhibited the presence of micro-either mesopores and large surface area are considered. The first one is the group of Me3Si-containing addition polynorbornenes. These polymers are microporous and possess Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area up to 800 m2/g. The second group includes polynorbornenes with carbocycles in the side polymer chains. Up to now, only polydicyclopentadiene is reported as porous material from this group. The third group includes polymers based on bifunctional norbornenes. These polymers have demonstrated tunable porous properties and large BET surface area up to 1000 m2/g.In the paper porous polymeric materials recently obtained from norbornene derivatives are presented.
