General description

Ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) monomers are attractive building block for advanced polymeric materials in the biomedical field. 2,2-Diphenyl-1,3-dioxa-2-silacyclooct-5-ene, or the silyl ether based ROMP monomer PhSi, is a bifunctional cyclic olefin that can be used to synthesize a variety of macromolecules and polymers with diverse compositions and complex structures. PhSi can copolymerize with a variety of norbornene derivatives including small molecules and macromolecules, enabling the formation of backbone-degradable copolymers that can be used in a variety of biomedical applications. The ROMP polymerization method is superior as it permits the tailorability of the resulting polymer material.

Application

Synthesis of advanced polymeric materials for biomedical applications including:
  • drug delivery
  • molecular imaging
  • self assembly
  • hydrogels
  • medical device coatings
  • stimuli responsive material

Features and Benefits

  • Copolymerize efficiency with a wide variety of norbornene-based (macro)monomers
  • Controlled ROMP polymerization
  • Silyl ether substitute can be tuned to control degradation

Storage Class

11 - Combustible Solids
