  • FORMAMIDE MONOMERS AND POLYMERS SYNTHESIZED THEREFROM
    Publication number: 20230159435
    Abstract: Formamide group-containing monomers and polymers made by polymerizing the monomers are provided. Also provided are methods of polymerizing the monomers and methods of synthesizing functionalized polymers by pre- and/or post-polymerization functionalization. The monomers are non-toxic and can generate highly reactive isocyanate and isonitrile precursors in a one-pot synthesis that enables the incorporation of complex functionalities into the side-chain of the polymers that are synthesized from the monomers.
    Type: Application
    Filed: January 3, 2023
    Publication date: May 25, 2023
    Inventors: Padma Gopalan, Balamurugan Ayyakkalai, Ri Chen
