模块化成环新方法和环形聚合物结构与性能调控

It has a great challenge to innovate the synthetic method for cyclic polymers. On the basis of ring-opening metathesis polymerization of cycloolefin or metathesis cyclopolymerization of 1,6-heptadiyne, we propose this project to developing a novel blocking-cyclization methodology, which is focused on the fundamental study about the exploration for the mechanism of blocking-cyclization of two single-stranded chain segments by a living-propagated double-stranded chain segment, and revealing the characteristics of the new blocking-cyclization technique for synthesizing cyclic polymers. The precise regulation for the cyclic ring size, number, chemical composition, and structure of cyclic polymers could be realized by changing the feeding ratio, number of times, and various combinations of different mono- and bi-functional monomers, providing a series of cyclic polyolefin, cyclic polyacetylene, or alkene-alkyne hybrid cyclic polymers with mono-, bis-, or tri-cyclic rings. The cyclic polymers in gourd string, wedge, dumbbell, and fusiform topological structures will be prepared readily by varying the feeding ratios of monomers. In addition, it is expected to perform the interconversion of cyclic ring size and number depending on the reversible change of coordination-decoordination between phenanthroline groups and metal ion. The distinguishing feature and advantage of cyclic polymers will be manifested through the characterization of topological structure and morphology, and the measurement for physical properties, band gap, and dielectric energy storage capability. In brief, the features of alternative monomer feeding and blocking-cyclization will reliably ensure the successful synthesis of cyclic polymers with high molecular weight via a one-pot procedure. This research is aimed at erecting an original strategy of polymer cyclization for establishing cyclic polymers with abundant topological structure and excellent properties, and therefore it will exhibit the high academic value and scientific significance for developing metathesis polymerization and functional polymer materials.
