Abstract

Abstract : A one-pot synthesis of random semicrystalline/amorphous multiblock copolymers is demonstrated via acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization of α, ω-divinyl-terminated telechelic polyolefins. Abstract : A simple, one-pot approach to synthesize random semicrystalline/amorphous multiblock copolymers (12–17 blocks per chain on average) is demonstrated that takes advantage of acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization of α, ω-divinyl-terminated telechelic polyolefins. This synthetic approach offers a generic, viable and economical route to polyolefin-based multiblock copolymers and may be extendable to broader families of multiblock materials.
