Crosslinked polynorbornene particles synthesis by ring-opening metathesis polymerization in dispersion
Résumé
This article proposes the first report on the synthesis of nanometric crosslinked polynorbornene particles by ring-opening metathesis polymerization in dispersion using ruthenium-based complex (PCy3)2Cl2Ru=CHPh as initiator. Stable but raspberry-shaped particles were obtained. In this study, a particular attention was paid to the influence of the crosslinker nature and addition mode on reaction kinetics and morphology of the latex particles.
