Correction to "Thermally Crosslinked Functionalized Polydicyclopentadiene with a High T g and Tunable Surface Energy".

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.6b00193.].

In determining the glass transition temperature (Tg) for our functionalized polydicyclopentadiene material, we were unfortunately misled by a calibration artifact associated with our DSC instrument, which caused us to report the incorrect value. We regret this error and would like to provide the correct DSC data and Tg here.

As shown in Figure , the true Tg value for our methyl ester-functionalized polydicyclopentadiene (polymer 6 in our original paper[1]) is 172 ± 3 °C (average data from 4 runs, acquired on two separate instruments). Although this is considerably lower than our earlier reported value, it remains the highest reported Tg for an unaged[2−4] polydicyclopentadiene material. As such, our conclusions in the published paper remain valid.
