Ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) monomers are attractive building block for advanced polymeric materials in the biomedical field. 2,2-Bis(1-methylethyl)-1,3-dioxa-2-silacyclohept-5-ene , or the silyl ether based ROMP monomer iPrSi, is a bifunctional cyclic olefin that can be used to synthesize a variety of marcomolecules and polymers with diverse compositions and complex structures. iPrSi can copolymerize with a variety of norbornene derivatives including small molecules and macromolecules, enabling the formation of backbone-degradable copolymers that can be used in a variety of biomedical applications. The ROMP polymerization method is superior as it permits the tailorability of the resulting polymer material.

Synthesis of advanced polymeric materials for biomedical applications including:

• drug delivery
• molecular imaging
• self assembly
• hydrogels
• medical device coatings
• stimuli responsive material
