Olefin Metathesis Polymerization: Acyclic Diene Metathesis (ADMET)

Olefin Metathesis Polymerization: Acyclic Diene Metathesis (ADMET)

Acyclic diene metathesis polymerization or ADMET polymerization involves cross-metathesis of terminal dienes, such as 1,8-nonadiene, to give linear unsaturated polymer and ethylene. As ADMET is a reversible process, the formed ethylene gas must be removed from the reaction mixture to complete the polymerization process.
Similar to cross-metathesis, ADMET also involves the formation of metallacyclobutane intermediate by [2+2] cycloaddition of one of the double bonds of a terminal diene with...

Background:

Elastomers are crucial in various applications requiring flexibility and durability.
Developing advanced elastomers with enhanced mechanical properties and rapid recovery remains a key research area.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a simple and rapid strategy for fabricating self-crosslinked dual-crosslinking elastomers (SCDCEs).
To achieve high mechanical properties and excellent recoverability in the synthesized elastomers.

Main Methods:

One-pot copolymerization of Butyl acrylate (BA), acrylic amide (AM), and 3-Methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MEMO).
Utilizing self-crosslinking of amino and methoxy groups to form dual-network crosslinks (hydrogen bonds and Si-O-Si covalent bonds).

Main Results:

The synthesized SCDCEs demonstrated high mechanical properties, including a tensile strength of 6 MPa and an elongation at break of 490%.
The dual-network structure effectively dissipated stress energy and ensured material elasticity and strength.
The elastomers exhibited rapid shape and property recovery after deformation.

Conclusions:
