Synthesis and Interfacial Behavior of Functional Amphiphilic Graft Copolymers Prepared by Ring-opening Metathesis Polymerization
This thesis describes the synthesis and application of a new series of amphiphilic graft copolymers with a hydrophobic polyolefin backbone and pendent hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) grafts. These copolymers are synthesized by ruthenium benzylidene-catalyzed ring-opening metathesis polymeriz...
