Abstract
This Viewpoint highlights the viability and increasing variety of functionalized polypentenamers as unique and valuable materials created through enthalpy-driven ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of low ring strain cyclopentene monomers. The terms "low ring strain" and "enthalpy-driven" are typically conflicting ideologies for successful ROMP; however, these monomers possess a heightened sensitivity to reaction conditions, which may be leveraged in a number of ways to provide performance elastomers with good yield and precise functional topologies. Over the last several years, a rekindled interest in these systems has led to a renaissance of research aimed at improving their synthesis and exploring their potential. Their chemistry, applications, and future outlook are discussed.

Abstract
We employ a rod-coil multiblock molecular chain model to investigate chain folding behavior, which is a significant characteristic in semicrystalline polymers, by using the method of self-consistent field theory (SCFT). Polymer chains with different conformations in crystalline and amorphous regions are described by rigid rod chains and flexible Gaussian chains, respectively. At present, we concentrate on the thermodynamic behaviors of polymer semi-crystals after the formation of the initial lamellar crystals. A new mechanism for lamellar thickening is proposed to realize that the end of lamellar thickening depends on the crystallinity degree. In other words, it is impossible for lamellae to develop into extended-chain crystals by means of lamellar thickening if crystallinity is limited to a certain degree. We further discuss the competition between crystalline and amorphous regions and its influence on crystallization behaviors, such as the formation of double lamellae, chain tilt, the anomalies and adjacent re-entry. The synergistic influences of the driving force of crystallization, interfacial energy and crystallinity degree on chain folding behavior are also investigated when the density anomalies in amorphous regions are excluded. Our model demonstrates advantages in accurately describing the mesoscopic layered structures of semicrystalline polymers based upon a microscopic chain model and provides at least a semi-quantitative thermodynamic picture for chain folding.

Abstract
Energy barriers for flipping the transverse dipole moments in poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and related copolymers and terpolymers are predicted using the nudged elastic band method. The dipole moments flip individually along the chain, with an order and energy barrier magnitudes (0.1-1.2 eV) that depend on the chain composition and environment. Trifluoroethylene (TrFE) and chlorofluoroethylene (CFE) monomers have larger energy barriers than VDF monomers, while a chain in an amorphous environment has a similar transition pathway as that of an isolated molecule. In a crystalline environment, TrFE and CFE monomers expand the lattice and lower the energy barriers for flipping VDF monomers. This finding is consistent with experimental observations of a large electrocaloric effect in P(VDF-TrFE-CFE) terpolymers.
