Facile Approach to Modulating Stereochemistry in Ring‐Opening Metathesis Polymerization of Cyclooctadiene

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
The stereochemistry of polybutadiene made by ring‐opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) evolves both during and after polymerization, as secondary metathesis shifts cis‐rich kinetic products toward trans‐rich equilibrium compositions. By tuning catalyst identity, additives, temperature, and reaction time, polybutadienes with 28%–80% trans content ...

From Cages to Sheets: Computational Elucidation of Methylaluminoxane Structure and Reactivity

open access: yesChemPlusChem, Volume 91, Issue 8, August 2026.
Methylaluminoxane (MAO), the dominant cocatalyst in metallocene‐based olefin polymerization, has resisted structural characterization for decades. This review traces the computational journey from early cage and nanotube proposals to the identification of two‐dimensional aluminoxane sheets as the thermodynamically preferred motif, and how this ...

Acyclic Hydrocarbon α,ω‐Dienes: From Biomass and Plastic Upcycling to Carbocycles, Precision Polymers, and Cross‐Linked Elastomers

open access: yesChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 14, 29 July 2026.
Hydrocarbon α,ω‐dienes are mainly produced from steam‐cracking derivatives, but high costs, complexity, and environmental impact limit their use. This review highlights sustainable paths from biomass and plastic upcycling, and surveys catalytic transformations into carbocycles and specialty polymers, emphasizing their role as modular building blocks ...

Impact of Commercial Polyolefin Architecture and Composition on Its Ability to Compatibilize High‐Density Polyethylene/Isotactic Polypropylene Blends

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, Volume 64, Issue 14, Page 3057-3072, 15 July 2026.
This research elucidates the relationship between the molecular structure of commercially available ethylene–propylene copolymers and an ethylene/1‐olefin copolymer and its ability to compatibilize high‐density polyethylene/isotactic polypropylene blends. These findings indicate that the compatibilization of these blends with random copolymers benefits
