Cover of the Polymer Chemistry showcases joint research of the PCCL and the Graz University of Technology
Researchers of the PCCL, the Graz University of Technology (Institute for Chemistry and Technology of Materials and Institute of Inorganic Chemistry), Joanneum Research and the Budapest University of Technology and Economics have collaborated on the determination of the helical structure of stereoregular poly(azanorbornene)s, which were prepared by the ring-opening metathesis polymerization of diastereomerically pure monomers. The publication was awarded the cover of Polymer Chemistry.
Publication: Elisabeth Rossegger, Laszlo Olah, Roland Fischer, Petra Kaschnitz, Olivia Varga, Mihaly Kallay, Gregor Scheipl, Franz Stelzer und Frank Wiesbrock: Synthesis of a poly(2-azanorbornene) with a high degree of cis-TT stereoregularity and a regular secondary solution structure, in: Polym. Chem. 2012, 3, 2760-2767. (Link)
