General description
Ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) monomers are attractive building block for advanced polymeric materials in the biomedical field. 2,2-Diphenyl-1,3-dioxa-2-silacyclooct-5-ene, or the silyl ether based ROMP monomer PhSi, is a bifunctional cyclic olefin that can be used to synthesize a variety of macromolecules and polymers with diverse compositions and complex structures. PhSi can copolymerize with a variety of norbornene derivatives including small molecules and macromolecules, enabling the formation of backbone-degradable copolymers that can be used in a variety of biomedical applications. The ROMP polymerization method is superior as it permits the tailorability of the resulting polymer material.
Application

Bottlebrush polymers are synthesized using a tandem ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) strategy. For the first time, ROP and ROMP are conducted sequentially in the same pot to yield well-defined bottlebrush polymers with molecular weights in excess

Ring-opening metathesis polymerization of norbornene-based (macro)monomers is a powerful approach for the synthesis of macromolecules with diverse compositions and complex architectures. Nevertheless, a fundamental limitation of polymers prepared by this strategy is their lack of facile degradability, limiting their utility
