Combining Metal-Free and Metal-Mediated Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization for Efficient Synthesis of Bottlebrush Polymers
Metal-mediated ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) is a common tool used to synthesize the backbone of bottlebrush polymers by a graft-through approach. However, examples of ROMP oligomers or polymers as macromolecular side chains are limited due …
