Synthesis and applications of unsaturated cyclocarbonates

Great attention has always been paid to monomers bearing at least two reactive groups, one for copolymerization and one for further reaction, in particular, for cross-linking. Such reactive groups should be reactive enough for crosslinking but should not prevent any copolymerization of monomers. Cyclic carbonate groups are currently gaining increasing attention both from academic and industrial communities. Indeed, these functions allow better...
