    ROMP-Derived cyclooctene-based monolithic polymeric materials reinforced with inorganic nanoparticles for applications in tissue engineering
    (Frankfurt, M : Beilstein-Institut zur Förderung der Chemischen Wissenschaften, 2010) Weichelt, F.; Lenz, S.; Tiede, S.; Reinhardt, I.; Frerich, B.; Buchmeiser, M.R.
    Porous monolithic inorganic/polymeric hybrid materials have been prepared via ring-opening metathesis copolymerization starting from a highly polar monomer, i.e., ciw-5-cyclooctene-trans-1,2-diol and a 7-oxanorborn-2-ene-derived cross-linker in the presence of porogenic solvents and two types of inorganic nanoparticles (i.e., CaCO3 and calcium hydroxyapatite, respectively) using the third-generation Grubbs initiator RuCl2(Py) 2(IMesH2)(CHPh). The physico-chemical properties of the monolithic materials, such as pore size distribution and microhardness were studied with regard to the nanoparticle type and content. Moreover, the reinforced monoliths were tested for the possible use as scaffold materials in tissue engineering, by carrying out cell cultivation experiments with human adipose tissue-derived stromal cells. © 2010 Weichelt et al; licensee Beilstein-Institut.

    Homopolymerization of ethylene, 1-hexene, styrene and copolymerization of styrene with 1,3-cyclohexadiene using (η5- tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)dimethylsilyl(N-Ar')amido-TiCl2/MAO (Ar'=6-(2-(diethylboryl)phenyl)pyrid-2-yl, biphen-3-yl)
    (Basel : MDPI AG, 2011) Camadanli, S.; Decker, U.; Kühnel, C.; Reinhardt, I.; Buchmeiser, M.R.
    The propensity of a half-sandwich (η55- tetramethylcyclopentadienyl) dimethylsilylamido TiIV-based catalyst bearing an auxiliary diethylboryl-protected pyridyl moiety (Ti-8), activated by methylaluminoxane (MAO) to homopolymerize α-olefins such as ethylene, 1-hexene and styrene as well as to copolymerize styrene with 1,3-cyclohexadiene is described. The reactivity of Ti-8 was investigated in comparison to a 6-(2-(diethylboryl)phenyl)pyrid-2-yl-free analogue (Ti-3).
