A study was conducted to demonstrate the synthesis and characterization of a polymer containing tertiary amines by ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). The study relied on ROMP for demonstrating the process, as it is suitable for synthesizing water-soluble polymers, due to its ability to tolerate many functional groups and allow the synthesis of block copolymers. Furan, maleic anhydride, N,N-dimethylamino ethanol, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl aminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC), diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD), ethyl vinyl ether, and triphenyl phosphine (PPh3) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich, Fluka and used without further purification. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) in DMF/0.01 M LiCl, was performed using a Polymer Laboratories PL-GPC50 instrument, with two 5 μm mixed-D columns, a 5 μm guard column, and a Knauer RI detector. The system was calibrated against polystyrene standards, with toluene as the flow marker.
