Molecular Weight and Molecular Weight Distribution Control of Ring-opening Metathesis Polymerization of Norbornene;

Polymerization of norbornene with amidogen substituted mono (η~5-cyclopentadienyl)titanium/methyl aluminoxane catalyst;

Synthesis and characterization of 5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxylicacid monomethyl ester;

In the solar energy transfer and storage system,the isomerization of norbornadiene and quadricyclane is an important reaction.

The photosensitized isomerization of norbornadiene to quadricyclane was studied using 4,4′-bis(diethylamino)benzophenone as triplet sensitizer.

A series of benzophenone (BP) and norbornadiene (NBD) labeled poly(aryl ether) dendrimers (Gn-NBD), generations 1～4, were synthesized.

The histories of experimental and theoretical development of all kinds of SMP, such as polynorbornlene, trans polyisoprene, crosslinked polyethylene and polyurethane were given and the applications of SMP in medical treatment, packaging, building, toy, autocar and equipment of alarm were presented.

And summed the histories of experimental and theoretical development of all inds of shape memory polymers,such as trans-polyisoprene(TPI),crosslinked polythylene(XLPE)polynorbornlene,polyurethane(PU),gelatin system and others.
