摘要:
Addition polymers derived from norbornene-functional monomers are terminated with an olefinic moiety derived from a chain transfer agent selected from a compound having a terminal olefinic double bond between adjacent carbon atoms, excluding styrenes, vinyl ethers, and conjugated dienes and at least one of said carbon atoms has two hydrogen atoms attached thereto. The addition polymers of this invention are prepared from a single or multicomponent catalyst system including a Group VIII metal ion source. The catalyst systems are unique in that they catalyze the insertion of the chain transfer agent exclusively at a terminal end of the polymer chain.

Polymers of polycyclic olefins such as, for example, norbornene or tetracyclododecene, or copolymers of polycyclic olefins with cycloolefins and/or 1-olefins with a very narrow molecular weight distribution are obtained without ring opening by a polymerization in which a catalyst which is composed of an aluminoxane and of a stereorigid, chiral metallocene compound of an element of groups IVb to VIb is used, and in which the reaction is stopped at a time when the molecular weight distribution Mw/Mn of the polymer formed is

A method for preparing a resin having light color comprises the steps of: hydrogenating a compound represented by the formula (1) ##STR1## wherein l, m and n are integers of 0.ltoreq.l.ltoreq.3, 0.ltoreq.m.ltoreq.8 and l.ltoreq.n.ltoreq.3, respectively, and R.sup.1 and R.sup.6 each represent a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon residue having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, with or without R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 forming a ring, in the presence of a Ziegler catalyst containing a transition metal compound of the groups IV to VI of the Periodic Table and an organometallic compound of the groups I to III of the Periodic Table in combination to obtain a norbornene compound represented by the formula (2) ##STR2## wherein l, m, n and R.sup.1 and R.sup.6 are the same as above; and polymerizing the norbornene compound to give the resin having light color.
摘要:
A process for enhancing the polymerization activity of mixtures of one or more cycloolefin monomers is provided by treatment with heat. This process can be easily incorporated into ring-opening, bulk polymerization methods and methods which form high molecular weight monomers. Enhancing the polymerization activity of crude mixtures of cycloolefin monomers by this process permits polymers having higher glass transition temperatures and higher heat distortion temperatures to be produced with greater economy.
摘要:
Incorporation of an ester plasticizer having a solubility parameter from about 7.8 to about 10.2 (cal/cc).sup.1/2 increases the flexibility and impact strength of poly(dicyclopentadiene). In a preferred embodiment of the method for poly(dicyclopentadiene) synthesis, the plasticizer is incorporated into at least one or two parts of a metathesis-catalyst system: a catalyst/monomer solution or an activator/monomer solution. The two parts are then combined in the mixing head of a reaction injection molding machine and injected into a mold where the reaction mixture rapidly sets up into a thermoset polymer with greater flexibility and impact strength than is found in the corresponding unplasticized poly(dicyclopentadiene).

There is provided a process for cationically polymerizing or co-polymerizing batchwise or continuously .alpha.-pinene by adding .alpha.-pinene either alone or in admixture with other terpene monomers, incrementally to a catalyst system comprising an aluminum halide and an antimony halide in the presence or absence of a (lower)alkyl, alkenyl or aralkyl halide in an inert solvent while controlling the temperature of reaction in the range of -30.degree. C. to +30.degree. C., drowning the polymerization mixture in water, separating the organic phase therefrom, removing the solvent therefrom and recovering a solid polymer in good yield.

Various polycycloolefinic polymers containing phenolic pendent groups and compositions thereof useful for forming self-imageable films encompassing such polymers are disclosed. Such polymers encompass norbornene-type repeating units containing phenolic pendent groups which contain very low levels of fluorine containing monomers. The films formed from such polymer compositions provide self imageable, low-k, thermally stable layers for use in microelectronic and optoelectronic devices.
