Methylthiohexa-1,3-Diene: Anionic Polymerization of a Diene with Thioether Moiety Enables Post-Polymerization Modification and Antimicrobial Materials. [PDF]
Angew Chem Int Ed EnglThe thioether‐containing 6‐methylthio‐hexa‐1,3‐diene (MTHD) monomer is prepared from the biobased methional. The obtained isomeric cis‐/trans‐mixture of the diene can be successfully homo‐ and copolymerized via anionic techniques. Targeting the thioether groups via post‐polymerization modifications (i.e.

Synthesis of Boronic Acid-Cross-Linked Diene-Based Polymers via Free-Radical Copolymerization. [PDF]
Chem Asian JABSTRACT Conjugated diene polymers cross‐linked with boronic acid functionalities were synthesized via free‐radical copolymerization of styrylboronic acid and isoprene or myrcene. The polymerization proceeded with an identical boron incorporation to the comonomer feed in a 1,4‐specific manner.

Molecular mechanisms associated with rootstock-scion interactions in rubber trees. [PDF]
Plant GenomeAbstract Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree) is the main source of natural rubber worldwide. In commercial plantations, high‐yield rubber tree clones are propagated by grafting onto seedling rootstocks. In this study, the transcriptomes of the RRIM 600 clone grafted on different rootstocks in southeastern Brazil were evaluated. Exclusively expressed genes
