AbstractNon-conjugated multi-functionalized all-optical photorefractive (PR) polymers were designed and synthesized via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of two monomers using Grubbs II catalyst as an initiator. The polymers were characterized by infrared (IR) spectrum, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), UV-visible spectrum (UV-Vis), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TG) and so on. The number-average molar mass (Mn) of the polymers is no less than 8.5 × 104 while their glass transition temperatures of 52°C and 45°C are close to the room temperature, which is helpful to the enhancement of PR orientation and the fabrication of PR devices. The polymers have good thermal stability and great solubility in tetrahydrofuran (THF). Without any plasticizer, the transparent optical films can be prepared by solution-casting with THF solution of polymers. Their PR properties at 633 nm were evaluated by two beam coupling (TBC) experiments under zero electric field without prepoling. It is shown that the single-component polymer has obvious all-optical PR behavior.

In this review, molecular brushes and other macromolecular architectures bearing a bottlebrush segment where the main chain is synthesized by ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) mediated by Mo or Ru metal complexes are considered. A brief review of metathesis and ROMP is presented in order to understand the problems and the solutions provided through the years. The synthetic strategies towards bottlebrush copolymers are demonstrated and each one discussed separately. The initiators/catalysts for the synthesis of the backbone with ROMP are discussed. Syntheses of molecular brushes are presented. The most interesting properties of the bottlebrushes are detailed. Finally, the applications studied by different groups are presented.

At 0 °C in THF in the presence of Grubbs first generation catalyst, cyclobutene derivatives undergo ROMP readily, whereas norbornene derivatives remain intact. When the substrate contains both cyclobutene and norbornene moieties, the conditions using THF as the solvent at 0 °C offer a useful protocol for the selective ROMP of cyclobutene to give norbornene-appended polycyclobutene. Unsymmetrical ladderphane having polycyclobutene and polynorbornene as two strands is obtained by further ROMP of the norbornene appended polycyclobutene in the presence of Grubbs first generation catalyst in DCM at ambient temperature. Methanolysis of this unsymmetrical ladderphane gives polycyclobutene methyl ester and insoluble polynorbornene-amide-alcohol. The latter is converted into the corresponding soluble acetate. Both polymers are well characterized by spectroscopic means. No norbornene moiety is found to be incorporated into polycyclobutene strand at all. The double bonds in the polycyclobutene strand are mainly in cis configuration (ca 70%), whereas the E/Z ratio for polynorbornene strand is 8:1.
