Aerogels as diverse nanomaterials
… (ROMP). In chapter III, we developed polydicyclopentadiene (pDCPD) based aerogels using two different Grubbs catalysts (GC-I and GC-II) with different catalytic activity towards ROMP. The different behavior of pDCPD aerogels was traced to a different polymer configuration at molecular …

Design and Synthesis of Polymer Networks and Branched Polymers for Triggered Deconstruction of Self-Assembly
… using an unrecyclable industrial thermoset, polydicyclopentadiene (pDCPD) as a model material. We demonstrate that statistical incorporation of small amounts of molecular additives into the backbone strands of thermosets enables complete material deconstruction under mild and chemoselective …

Control of micro- and nanostructure: I. polymer gas chromatography microcolumns and II. applications of ultrasound
… on the ring opening metathesis polymerization of polydicyclopentadiene using Grubbs’ catalyst. Furthermore, as a departure from traditional GC microcolumns, a three-dimensional helical configuration is used that removes the use of tight turns necessary for two-dimensional configurations, and it is …
