A simple method to synthesize high Tg sulfonated ionomers based on catalytic insertion polynorbornene is reported. Copolymers of norbornene and 5-methyl alcohol norbornene (endo:exo = 82:18) or 5-methyl bromide norbornene (endo:exo = 86:14) as well as terpolymers of norbornene, 5-methyl alcohol norbornene and 5-hexyl norbornene are prepared using a cationic Pd catalyst. These copolymers are then thioacetylated. Using hydrogen peroxide as oxidant, a sulfonated polynorbornene is obtained. Ionomers containing as much as 30 mol% SO3H and with Tgs above 200 °C are obtained in a four-step procedure of overall 40-75% yield.

Polymer brushes provide an ideal platform for studying biofouling and screening anti-biofouling materials. In the present work, high-density poly(ionic liquid) brushes based on imidazolium salts were successfully grafted to surfaces via surface-initiated ring-opening metathesis polymerizations from catecholic initiator and their anti-microbial activity was evaluated. Very uniform poly(ionic liquid) coatings with thickness up to 80 nm were obtained on TiO2. Various characterization techniques including infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize poly(ionic liquid) brushes modified TiO2 nanomaterials. Subsequently, the anti-bacterial and anti-biofouling properties of poly(ionic liquid) brushes were evaluated. It was found that poly(ionic liquid) brushes can obviously resist adhesion of Chlorella spores and the counter-anions have a key impact on the anti-microbial property. The hexafluorophosphate anion poly(ionic liquid) coated TiO 2 nanomaterials have excellent anti-bacterial properties compared to pristine TiO2 nanoparticles against both E. coli and S. aureus.

Vinylic addition polynorbornenes bearing functional groups can be obtained in a versatile way by nucleophilic substitution of a halogen in new vinylic haloalkyl polynorbornenes. The latter are obtained by vinylic homo and copolymerization of norbornene and haloalkyl norbornenes catalyzed by [Ni(C 6F5)2(SbPh3)2]. This method circumvents the problem of catalyst deactivation encountered in classical copolymerizations with polar monomers. The content of substituted monomer in the copolymers is in the range 26-59%, depending on the monomer ratio in the feed. Nucleophilic substitution reactions afford polymers with ester, cyano, phenylthio, or azido groups in the same wide range of composition. Click chemistry on the azido polynorbornenes give polynorbornenes with pendant triazole groups.
