Abstract:
A novel process for reducing the molecular weight of nitrile rubber in the presence of specific catalyst systems containing the metathesis catalyst and also a specific addition of fluorine-containing boron compounds is provided.
Abstract:
A novel process for the degradation of nitrile rubber by metathesis using ruthenium- or osmium-based catalysts which have both a substituted or unsubstituted imidazolidine ligand and a carbene ligand bearing a phosphonium radical is provided.
