Abstract: High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide The exclusive introduction of end groups into biobased aliphatic polyesters containing vinyl chain ends, prepared by ADMET polymerization of nonconjugated diene monomers, has been achieved by adopting olefin metathesis with a molybdenum-alkylidene catalyst followed by treatment with various aldehydes, and their quantitative introductions were confirmed by grafting PEG with certified M n values. The end-functionalized polyesters demonstrated unique emission and thermal properties through an interaction of the end groups; both melting and crystallization temperatures are affected by the end groups as well as the M n values.
