This novel strategy based on the C–C bond-forming step-growth polymerization of prelinked monomers led to the formation of abc- and abcc-sequence-regulated vinyl monomers. Results.

The step growth polymerization systems, trimesoyl chloride (TMC) reacting with m-phenylene diamine (MPD) or piperazine (PIP), are used in polyamide (PA) layer formation in thin film composite membrane ...

Most polymerization is classed as either ‘step’ or ‘chain’ growth. Step growth polymers form following independent reaction steps between functional monomer unit groups. Chain growth polymers occur ...

Condensation polymerization, also referred to condensation-elimination polymerizations or step-reaction polymerization, uses an elimination reaction to create the polymer. In this polymerization ...

Learn about the use of organic catalysts in traditional step growth polymerizations, more contemporary click step growth polymerizations, and how new processes have enabled for the efficient living ...

Importantly, the researchers found that the assembly took place not through a step-growth where, like people reaching out their hands to form a human chain, the units combine in groups of two, then ...

Chen says his group has only looked at ROMP processes so far, but the method should work for any chain-growth polymerization mechanism. Chemical & Engineering News. ISSN 0009-2347.
