General description

Ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) monomers are attractive building block for advanced polymeric materials in the biomedical field. (5E)-2,2-Diethyl-1,3-dioxa-2-silacyclohept-5-ene, or the silyl ether based ROMP monomer EtSi, is a bifunctional cyclic olefin that can be used to synthesize a variety of macromolecules and polymers with diverse compositions and complex structures. EtSi 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

Synthesis of advanced polymeric materials for biomedical applications including:

  • drug delivery
  • molecular imaging
  • self assembly
  • hydrogels
  • medical device coatings
  • stimuli responsive material

Features and Benefits

  • Copolymerize efficiency with a wide variety of norbornene-based (macro)monomers
  • Controlled ROMP polymerization
  • Silyl ether substitute can be tuned to control degradation

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
