“…Polymers impact nearly every facet of modern life, keeping food fresh, enabling life-saving technologies, providing safer transportation, and so on. The field of polymer science continues to evolve with advances in synthetic protocols and methods, − polymer architectures and molecular weights, − and polymer processing techniques. − The chemistry of polymers dictates intra- and interchain interactions that give rise to bulk properties, ultimately defining toughness, thermal stability, degradability, and so on, and thus applications. The chemistry of a polymer also determines opportunities for postpolymerization modification and compatibilization of a polymer with additives such as other polymers, particles, and surfaces. − Recent and ongoing areas of research in the field center on recyclability and self-healing, − upcycling of commodity polymers, − production of polymers from sustainable sources, − and realizing extreme molecular weights and architectures, among others.…”

100th Anniversary of Macromolecular Science Viewpoint: Polymerization of Cumulated Bonds: Isocyanates, Allenes, and Ketenes as Monomers

Polymer chemistry offers exciting opportunities to tailor the properties of soft materials through control of the composition of the polymers and their interaction with each other, additives, and surfaces. Ongoing advances in the synthesis of polymeric materials demonstrate the drive for materials with tailored properties for enhanced performance in the next generation of materials and devices. One class of small molecules that can serve as monomers in chain growth polymerization are cumulated double bonds of the general form XYZ. The three most common classes of these molecules are isocyanates (NCO), allenes (CCC), and ketenes (CCO), each of which has been explored as monomers under a variety of conditions. The orthogonality of the two pi bonds of the cumulated double bonds (i.e., lack of conjugation) enables the formation of different polymer backbones from a single monomer, provided the regioreactivity is controlled. This Viewpoint outlines the use of these three cumulated double bonds as monomers, illustrating success and current limitations to established polymerization methods. We then provide an outlook to the future of cumulated double bonds as monomers for the generation of tailored polymer compositions.

“…[41] This way, biological and chemical modifications can be conducted in the latex phase not only for NR but for other diene rubbers as well. [53] Modifications on latex phase include preparation of nanoparticles, [54,55] composites, [56][57][58] degradation studies, [5,44] vulcanization, and introduction of cross-links, [59,60] functionalization with organic compounds [14,61,62] and among others.

“…[12] For both, natural and synthetic rubbers, several functionalization reports can be found on literature. [13][14][15][16][17][18] Rubbers can be modified biologically by microorganisms (whole cell systems) [19] or enzymatically (cell extracts). [20,21] Since numerous tons of rubber materials are used every year (≈10 7 tons year −1 ), rubber waste recycling became a relevant topic of research.…”

Diene rubbers are polymeric materials which present elastic properties and have double bonds in the macromolecular backbone after the polymerization process. Post-polymerization modifications of rubbers can be conducted by enzymatic or chemical methods. Enzymes are environmentally friendly catalysts and with the increasing demand for rubber waste management, biodegradation and biomodifications have become hot topics of research. Some rubbers are renewable materials and are a source of organic molecules, and biodegradation can be conducted to obtain either oligomers or monomers. On the other hand, chemical modifications of rubbers by click-chemistry are important strategies for the creation and combination of new materials. In a way to expand the scope of uses to other non-traditional applications, several and effective modifications can be conducted with diene rubbers. Two groups of efficient tools, enzymatic, and chemical modifications in diene rubbers, are summarized in this review. By analyzing stereochemical and reactivity aspects, the authors also point to some applications perspectives for biodegradation products and to rational modifications of diene rubbers by combining both methodologies.

“…Further, branching and cross-linking can be accurately tuned by varying the monomer functionality since there is virtually no chain transfer to polymer. 34 Some authors have already taken advantage of some opportunities, 35 but further research efforts are required to tap the full potential of thiol-ene step photopolymerization in dispersed media.…”
