From Dicyclopentadiene to Chemically Recyclable Polymeric Materials

Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), an abundant and inexpensive industrial byproduct, is converted via green synthetic routes into a series of cyclopentene monomers with tunable ring-strain energies (4.15–6.50 kcal mol–1). Notably, the epoxy-substituted monomer exhibits enhanced ring strain (6.50 kcal mol–1), enabling quasi-li...
