Functional Polymers

Part of the book series: Polymers and Polymeric Composites: A Reference Series ((POPOC))

Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the many facets of polymer functionalization. To build upon the basic foundation of polymer functionalization, some general considerations are outlined first. This includes various methods to synthesize functional polymers and an overview of reactions frequently employed in postpolymerization modification. Additionally a brief history of polymer functionalization dating back to the vulcanization of rubber in 1840 is discussed. Following the general considerations, the chapter is divided into specific functional groups and modern reactions. The functional groups discussed here include activated esters, anhydrides, isocyanates, and ketenes, oxazolones and epoxides, aldehydes and ketones, azides and alkynes, dienes, and dienophiles, tetrazines, halides, and thiols. To showcase the versatility of the functional groups, side chain modification and end group modification are included within each section. Finally, future prospects in polymer functionalization are briefly mentioned.
