Abstract:
1. A method for preparing a multi-functional polymer, comprising: reacting at least two functionalized alpha olefin molecules in the presence of a metathesis catalyst thereby forming an alkene comprising multiple functionalities, where the alpha olefin molecules may be the same or different, where the multiple functionalities are selected from methacrylates, acrylates, cinnamates, epoxides, lactones, cyclic carbonates, tetrahydrofurans, oxetanes, lactams, phosphazenes, and groups represented by the formula  where Q comprises Si or Sn, each R independently comprises a hydroxyl, a hydrolyzable group, or a monovalent organic group containing from 1 to about 20 carbon atoms, each X comprises a hydrolyzable group or a hydroxyl group, and a is an integer from 1 to about 3; and reacting the alkene with a metathesis polymerizable olefin in the presence of a metathesis catalyst thereby forming a multi-functional polymer.
