Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for a triptycene-based A-B monomer, a method of making a triptycene-based A-B monomer, a triptycene-based ladder polymer, a method of making a triptycene-based ladder polymers, a method of using triptycene-based ladder polymers, a structure incorporating triptycene-based ladder polymers, a method of gas separation, and the like.

A composition for the destruction of chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial chemicals having a polyoxometalate (POM) attached to an amine, carboxylic acid, or ammonium substituted porous polymer. Also disclosed is a method for attaching a POM to an amine, carboxylic acid, or ammonium substituted porous polymer by (1) dissolving the POM in water or an organic solvent, adding the functionalized porous polymer, whereby the POM ionically attaches to the amine, carboxylic acid or ammonium group, or (2) heating the POM and functionalized polymer in the presence of a dehydrating agent whereby an imide bond is produced between the POM and the functionality on the porous polymer.

A method for the manufacture of a polymer is provided, the method comprising: Providing a first monomer, the first monomer comprising a bicyclic diamine moiety, a first nucleophilic group provided on a carbon atom of an aromatic moiety, and a second nucleophilic group provided on a carbon atom of an aromatic moiety; Providing a bridging compound comprising at least two sites vulnerable to nucleophilic attack; and Contacting the first monomer with the bridging compound. Polymers made by said method and uses of such polymers are also disclosed.

The invention relates to an acrylated oligomer, having a number-average acrylate functionality f.sub.o>2, of branched structure resulting from the polyaddition reaction of at least one amine A) having a functionality f.sub.A of NH groups of at least 2, to at least one multifunctional acrylate B) having a functionality f.sub.B of acrylate groups of at least 2, with an average functionality per mole of all of the components A)+B) of greater than 2 and with said oligomer comprising in its repeating unit structure at least one O.sub.2CCH.sub.2CH.sub.2N=aminoacrylate group resulting from said polyaddition and with a content of nitrogen resulting from said amine A) of greater than or equal to 0.35 mEq/g and an initial ratio r=acrylate/NH of between nut and 1.1 r.sub.sup with n.sub.inf=0.90*(f.sub.A1)*(f.sub.B1) and r.sub.sup=2*f.sub.A+2*f.sub.B6 and the average number n.sub.av of repeating units per oligomer n.sub.av=1/[(r*f.sub.A/f.sub.B)+1f.sub.A].
