Aerogels as diverse nanomaterials
… 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 level."--Abstract, page …

Design and Synthesis of Polymer Networks and Branched Polymers for Triggered Deconstruction of Self-Assembly
… 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 conditions, without …

Rapid fabrication of polymers and composites via frontal polymerization
… (DCPD) produced a better polymer product, since PDCPD is used industrially for products like truck body panels and agricultural equipment. FROMP had previously been limited by high catalyst loading requirements and short working time (<1 h). We were able to reduce the catalyst loading by 3-5 fold …

Advanced manufacturing of sustainable materials
… properties that were comparable with native pDCPD, but they were easily degraded into high-value fragments by hydrolysis. The degradation fragments, which were rich in hydroxyl functionality, were recycled into polyurethane networks by reaction with commercially available diisocyanates. The …
