Stretching decelerates ring-opening metathesis at cis-olefins in stressed molecular bows [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsRing-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of strained cycloalkenes, driven by angle strain relief, has emerged as a powerful and versatile approach for synthesizing macromolecular materials. Nevertheless, the ROMP of C=C bonds upon stretching remains

Bidirectional Disulfide Metathesis Enables Recycling of High-Performance Thermoset Networks. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)A cyclic aromatic disulfide comonomer enables dual‐mode recyclable pDCPD thermosets through bidirectional disulfide metathesis. The resulting networks combine enhanced mechanical performance with thermal reprocessability and chemical depolymerization into reusable oligomeric fragments, allowing regeneration of high‐performance thermosets with minimal ...

Boron-Functionalised exo-Norbornene Monomers for ROMP: Toward Coordination-Active Poly(norbornene-B-arylene-dioxaborepine)s [PDF]
MoleculesA series of boron-functionalised exo-norbornene monomers bearing boronic ester groups were synthesised via a condensation reaction and subsequently polymerised through ring-opening metathesis polymerisation (ROMP) to afford well-defined poly(norbornene-B-

Is self-perception related to speech perceptual analysis measures in early- and late-onset Parkinson’s disease? [PDF]
Dementia & Neuropsychologia. Dysarthria is prevalent in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and has negative effects on communication and social interaction. A gap exists in understanding whether patient-reported outcome measures can effectively identify speech disorders prematurely ...

C6-ROMP Enabled by Structure-Guided Monomer Design for Chemically Recyclable Polymers [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsCyclohexene, a minimally strained cyclic olefin, presents a long-standing challenge for ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) due to its inherently low ring strain energy.

Facial expression analysis to uncover the relationship between sialorrhea and hypomimia in Parkinson’s disease [PDF]
Frontiers in NeurologySialorrhea, or excessive drooling, is a prevalent yet frequently under-recognized non-motor symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Hypomimia, or reduced facial expressivity, constitutes another significant feature of PD.
