TL;DR: A class of electroluminescent polymers can be patterned in a way similar to standard photoresist materials—soluble polymers with oxetane sidegroups that can be crosslinked photochemically to produce insoluble polymer networks in desired areas.

TL;DR: The field of ring opening polymerization (ROP) has been a rapidly growing and industrially important area of research as discussed by the authors, and the literature up to 2012 has been considered but the citations refer to detailed reviews and key papers describing not only the latest developments but also the evolution of the current state of the art.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the polymerization of dienes by neodymium-based Ziegler/Natta-catalyst systems is presented, focusing on the monomer 1,3-butadiene (BD).

TL;DR: In this article, an end-functionalized 3D self-assembled monolayers were used to initiate the living cationic ring-opening polymerization reaction directly on gold nanoparticle surfaces.

TL;DR: The synthesis and heterogenization of new Grubbs-Hoveyda type metathesis catalysts by chlorine exchange is described, and 3 was found to be highly active in RCM at room temperature (20 degrees C), allowing TONs up to 1400.
