Hall %J Polymers %D 2012 %I MDPI AG %R 10.3390/polym4041674 %X ¡§The synthesis and polymerizability of atom-bridged bicyclic monomers was surveyed. The monomers included lactams, ureas, urethanes, lactones, carbonates, ethers, acetals, orthoesters, and amines. Despite widely-varying structures, they almost all polymerized to give polymers with monocyclic rings in the chain. The polymerizations are grouped by mechanism: uncoordinated anionic, coordinated anionic, and cationic. %K alicyclic ring-containing polymers %K anti-Bredt monomers %K atom-bridged bicyclic monomers %K ring-opening polymerizations %U http://www.mdpi.com/2073-4360/4/4/1674
