Herein, we report a study on the preparation, properties, and depolymerization of pristine and vulcanized poly(cyclopentene) (poly(CP)), poly(norbornene--cyclopentene) (poly(NB--CP)) and poly(-dicyclopentadiene--cyclopentene) (poly (DCP--CP)). First, poly(CP), poly(NB--CP) and poly(DCP--CP) were prepared with high molecular weight control ( = 200 000-500 000) using dichloro(3-phenyl-1-inden-1-ylidene)bis(tricyclohexylphosphine)ruthenium(ii). Next, carbon black, zinc oxide and other additives were blended into the pristine polymers using a mixer and twin roll rubber mills at 50 °C, followed by vulcanization in metal molds at 160 °C for 10 min, resulting in molded black rubber specimens.

- * A survey sent to 427 hospitals revealed that only 39.1% provided outpatient rehabilitation, with 83.7% of those finding their services inadequate due to factors like funding issues and lack of trained staff.
- * Improvements are needed in human resources, medical fee reimbursements, and education to enhance outpatient services and promote better regional coordination among hospitals.
Article Synopsis
- * 97.4% of hospitals provided inpatient rehabilitation, but 67.7% of respondents found this provision inadequate, mainly due to insufficient staff and lack of skilled rehabilitation professionals.
- * Adequate cancer rehabilitation requires an increase in staff, improved education, and better recognition of its importance in oncology departments.
