End Functinalization of Polyisobutylenes and their Applications in Dyeing Polyolefins and in Homogeneous Catalysis

Non-polar phase selectively soluble polyisobutylene (PIB) is a useful polymer as a polymer support for homogeneous catalysts. Substitution of PIB onto other useful ligands alters the solubility properties of original ligands. However, such chemical modification of PIB polymers is challenging due to...
