Norbornene-Based Monoliths

The living character of the ring opening metathesis polymerization described earlier in this review enables a simple preparation of functionalized norbornene-based monoliths. Adding one more in situ derivatization step that involves functional norborn-2-ene and 7-oxanorborn-2-ene monomers that react with the surface-bound initiator, the pores were provided with a number of typical functional groups such as carboxylic acid, tertiary amine, and cyclodextrin [58,59].
