A group of more than 160 people created a polymerization reaction - The ADMET reaction - that has been used to examine structure of both hydrocarbon and functionalized polyolefins. Most recently the research has turned to high temperature, bulk polycondensation, similar to conditions used to synthesize polyester. Specifically the focus has been on high Mn aliphatic polysulfones. Catalyst selection has been key; well-defined catalysts must survive at temperatures greater than 160 C.
