  • Methods for forming stereospecific, polar functionalized polypropylene
    Patent number: 11840624
    Abstract: Methods for forming polar-functionalized isotactic and syndiotactic polypropylenes are provided, including amino-functionalized polypropylene. In embodiments, such a method comprises contacting a propylene monomer and a polar monomer comprising an amine group in the presence of an organozirconium catalyst and in the absence of a masking reagent, under conditions to induce a polymerization reaction between the propylene and polar monomers, thereby forming polar-functionalized polypropylene.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 4, 2020
    Date of Patent: December 12, 2023
    Assignee: Northwestern Unversity
    Inventors: Tobin J. Marks, Minglu Huang, Yanshan Gao

  • Functional polymer of styrene derivative and anionic polymerization preparation method thereof
    Patent number: 10927208
    Abstract: A functional polymer of styrene derivative a copolymer of a monomer A having the structure represented by the formula (I) and a comonomer. The functional polymer of styrene derivative of the present invention can be easily further chemically modified. Meanwhile, basic properties of the functional polymer, such as glass transition temperature, viscoelasticity and the like, can be easily adjusted by adjusting the amount of the styrene derivative added.
