Rapid synthesis of diol homolog-based thermosets with tunable properties via ring-opening metathesis polymerization

Abstract

This work aims to convert diols into thermosets with tunable properties. A series of diol-derived monomers have been synthesized and characterized. After mixing with second-generation Grubbs’ catalyst, these liquid monomers polymerize completely in two minutes to form cross-linked structures, which benefits rapid manufacture of composites. These diol homolog-based thermosets have good thermal properties and mechanical properties, and their performance can be greatly enhanced by fabricating woven flax fiber composites. We believe these may help researchers design and explore novel promising sustainable diol-based polymers and materials with excellent properties.
