Boron-containing polymers have attracted great attention in materials science due to their unique recognition, stimulus-response, and dynamic exchange properties. This study successfully introduced vinyl boronic acid and a series of boronate monomers to prepare well-defined polyolefins with boron-containing groups via RAFT polymerization. The resulting polymers exhibited improved thermal stability and showed potential for use as functional materials with dynamic exchange properties.
Boron-containing polymers have aroused great research interest in materials science due to their specific recognition, stimulus-response, and dynamic exchange. However, the introduction of boron-containing groups into the pendant of polymers remains a great challenge. This work introduces vinyl boronic acid (VB(OH)(2), CH2 - CHB(OH)(2)) and a series of boronate monomers for preparing well-defined polyolefins with boron-containing groups. Vinylboronic acid pinacol ester (VBpin) was found to be a suitable monomer in radical polymerization, and the well-defined corresponding polymers were successfully obtained by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The thermal stability of the prepared VBpin-containing polymers showed a significant improvement after the reduction of the trithioester end groups. Moreover, the dynamic exchange properties of VBpin polymers were investigated, indicating the potential of these polymers as functional materials.
