초록 :
Our group integrates fundamental and applied research within the scope of soft materials. In this seminar, we will discuss a new mechanism for ring-opening metathesis polymerizationthat is now a centerpiece of our program. The approach leverages photoredox catalysis toallow for the use of organic initiators, in contrast to widely used metal-alkylidene initiators.Studies on our mechanistic hypothesis have yielded an exciting interplay of challenges and opportunities, often with one disguised as the other. We will share our findings that includemethods for stereocontrol, chain transfer, and functional group compatibility, as well as ouradventures into the applied and commercial sectors.
