    Abstract: This patent document provides a caged catalyst comprising a catalyst encapsulated in a cage compound of Formula I represented [ZrIV6O4(OI)4(linker)6]). The catalysts demonstrated excellent activities and size selectivity in a model RCM reaction, suggesting successful encapsulation into MOFs. ROMP of cyclopentene mediated by G3@UiO-67 achieved significantly higher molecular weight and lower dispersity than the counterpart mediated by the free catalyst. The ultra-high molecular weight polymers generated by the encapsulated catalysts demonstrated significantly improved mechanical and adhesive properties compared to the low molecular weight counterparts and commercial polymers. The simplicity and generality make this method readily applicable to the ROMP of a wide range of low-strain cyclic olefins.

    Abstract: The present application is directed to a method of producing a lignin-based carbon fiber. This method comprises providing a lignin-containing material; producing a lignin fiber from the lignin-containing material; stabilizing the lignin fiber under tension, where the tension is adjusted during said stabilizing such that the maximum bearable tension is applied to the lignin fiber; and carbonizing the lignin fiber under tension to produce a carbon fiber, where said carbonizing is carried out at a temperature below 1200° C. and where the tension during said carbonizing is adjusted to avoid shrinkage. The present application is also directed to a lignin-based carbon fiber and molded articles containing such fibers.
