Year Adopted 2019
Research Period 2020 - 2023
General Description of the Research Project This international cooperative research project aims to develop new biodegradable and recyclable functional polymers from plant oils by precise olefin (metathesis) polymerization in the presence of catalysts, and the subsequent post-modifications for exhibiting the target properties. The project also aims to develop new efficient catalytic process for synthesis of monomers which do not use hazardous reagents, harsh conditions.
