Epoxidation was found to increase the glass transition temperature (T-g = 14 degrees C for the 98\% epoxidized 1,4-polymyrcene) as well as the shelf live (>10 months). The trisubstituted epoxide groups were remarkably stable against nucleophiles under basic conditions but cross-linked or hydrolyzed in the presence of an acid. Also, highly epoxidized 1,4-polymyrcene readily cross-linked upon annealing at 260 degrees C to produce an epoxy resin.}, language = {en} } @article{HessSchmidtSchlaad2020, author = {Hess, Andreas and Schmidt, Bernhard Volkmar Konrad Jakob and Schlaad, Helmut}, title = {Aminolysis induced functionalization of (RAFT) polymer-dithioester with thiols and disulfides}, series = {Polymer Chemistry}, volume = {11}, journal = {Polymer Chemistry}, number = {48}, publisher = {Royal Society of Chemistry}, address = {Cambridge}, issn = {1759-9954}, doi = {10.1039/d0py01365j}, pages = {7677 -- 7684}, year = {2020}, abstract = {A series of polystyrene- and poly(methyl methacrylate)-dithioesters was subjected to aminolysis under ambient atmospheric conditions, i.e., in the presence of oxygen.

Oxidation of thiolates is usually an unwanted side reaction, here it is employed to obtain exclusively polymeric mixed disulfides through in situ aminolysis/functionalization in the presence of a thiol. The in situ aminolysis/functionalization in the presence of a disulfide, Ellman's reagent or polymer disulfide, resulted in the exclusive formation of polymer-dithionitrobenzoic acid, which can be further reacted with a thiol to exchange the terminal functionality, or block copolymer with dynamic disulfide linker, respectively.}, language = {en} } @article{BehrendtHessLehmannetal.2019, author = {Behrendt, Felix Nicolas and Hess, Andreas and Lehmann, Max and Schmidt, Bernd and Schlaad, Helmut}, title = {Polymerization of cystine-derived monomers}, series = {Polymer Chemistry}, volume = {10}, journal = {Polymer Chemistry}, number = {13}, publisher = {Royal Society of Chemistry}, address = {Cambridge}, issn = {1759-9954}, doi = {10.1039/c9py00118b}, pages = {1636 -- 1641}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Cystine was used as a platform chemical to prepare cyclic and acyclic monomers for entropy-driven ringopening polymerization (ED-ROMP) via olefin or disulfide metathesis and for step-growth polymerization. The olefin ED-ROMP of an olefin/disulfide containing 16-atom macrocycle using the 3rd generation Grubbs catalyst was examined in greater detail. Kinetic studies revealed that the catalyst turned inactive during the polymerization, which limited the achievable (apparent) polymer molar mass to similar to 70 kg mol(-1). Such limitation could be overcome with the disulfide ED-ROMP of the same macrocycle to yield polymers with molar masses of up to 180 kg mol(-1). The step-growth polymerizations of acyclic diene and dithiol monomers via olefin metathesis or oxidation were far less effective and yielded just low molar mass polymers or oligomers; photopolymerization of a thiol-ene monomer produced a polyester with a molar mass of 35 kg mol(-1).}, language = {en} }
