Surface Chain-Transfer Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization

摘要
Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) is a powerful method to graft various types of polymer chains to a given surface. While surface-initiated ROMP (SI-ROMP) serves as an efficient tool for surface modification and is therefore widely reported, the method requires grafting (1) the olefin substrate and (2) the metathesis catalyst to the surface prior to the polymerization with multiple synthetic and work up steps. To overcome this difficulty, we proposed the use of the chain-transfer reaction as an alternative method for surface modification. Terminal olefins are grafted to the surface without the need to graft the metathesis catalysts, and polymers with olefin backbones are polymerized and grafted simultaneously via both ROMP and chain transfer (cross-metathesis between olefins from backbones and surfaces). Compared to SI-ROMP, this surface-chain transfer ROMP (SC-ROMP) method avoids grafting the catalyst and growing polymer chains from the surface and could be achieved in a single step. Various types of surfaces like carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers, graphene nanosheets, and silica microspheres are used for demonstration. We envision that this work could bring a convenient and effective solution to surface modification via ROMP.
