Acyclic Diene Metathesis with a Monomer from Renewable Resources: Control of Molecular Weight and One-Step Preparation of Block Copolymers
TL;DR: The preparation of a long-chain aliphatic alpha,omega-diene from plant oil derivatives and its subsequent polymerization through acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) is described and the application of a poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate as the chain stopper led to the preparation of ABA triblock copolymers in a one-step, one-pot procedure.
