Thiol-ene click chemistry incorporates carboxylic acid-terminated alkane pendants on polycyclooctene to tune properties

Dehydrogenation and subsequent chemical modification of polyolefins emerges as a promising polymer-to-polymer upcycling pathway. We report the functionalization of polycyclooctene (PCOE), a model for dehydrogenated polyethylene, by thiol-ene click chemistry to install carboxylic acid (COOH) terminat...
