Abstract:Inspired by precisely designed protein synthesis from amino acids, we demonstrate precise polyurethane synthesis from novel AB-type monomers exhibiting side chain functionalities to implement an elaborate molecular/material design, which has been difficult to address by a conventional method. To realize this idea, we designed acylazide precursor monomers having alcohol moieties, which can transform into actual AB-type monomer species having isocyanate and alcohol groups by Curtius rearrangement. Polymers from … Show more
