Design of functional isocyanate-free poly(oxazolidone)s under mild conditions

Abstract

Polyoxazolidones, i.e. high performance polymers bearing cyclic carbamate linkages, were recently accessible by a non-isocyanate route under mild conditions. Herein, we report the preparation of polyoxazolidones bearing thioether linkages, which...

Continuous Flow Synthesis of Functional Isocyanate-Free Poly(oxazolidone)s by Step-Growth Polymerization

“…Note that, though the apparent M n decreased from P3' to P3'F (Figure b), we do not think that this is due to degradation but rather to a change of the polymer hydrodynamic volume. This is in line with our last work that showed the great stability of polyoxazolidones under strong acidic conditions, with no chain scission …”
