"Preparation and curing kinetics of “bottlebrush-like structure” green bio-based ultra-low-temperature polyfarnesene nanocomposites" by WU Ming-li, LI Yong-xu, CAO Lan?鄢

“…As a versatile monomer, trans-β-farnesene had a special structure of long side chain monosubstitution, which could be genetically edited from the source to form a “bottlebrush-like” polymer with a regular structure. 　In this work, hydroxyl-terminated polyfarnesene (HTPF) was synthesized by free-radical solution polymerization, and enhanced HTPF-based polyurethane elastomers (HTPF-PU) was prepared using HTPF as soft segment and functionalized graphene oxide (GO) modified with isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) as functional filler by one-step process for the first time, which allowed the isocyanate groups on modified graphene oxide (iGO) and the hydroxyl groups in HTPF to form covalent bonds to prepare nanocomposites with a strong interfacial bonding effect, as shown in Fig 1. …”
