Abstract:
DINORBORNENE COMPOUNDS, MANY OF THEM NOVEL, HAVE BEEN FOUND TO FORM POLYMERS HAVING A LADDER STRUCTURE. THE DINORBORNENE COMPOUNDS AND DINORBORNENE POLYMERS WITH OTHER POLYMERS SUCH AS THE POLYOLEFINS, VINYL POLYMERS, ACRYLIC POLYMERS, POLYESTERS PPOLYAMIDES POLYEHERS, POLYUREAS, POLYURETHANES, NATURAL POLYMERS, ETC., ARE READILY CROSS-LINKED BY IRRADIATION.
Abstract:
RADIATION CURABLE POLYMERS HAVING THE VINYL -(5-NORBORNENE-2-YLMETHYL) CARBAMATE GROUP POLYMERIZED THEREIN ARE USEFUL FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CROSSLINKED COATINGS, FILMS, 2WIRE INSULATION AND FABRIC TREATMENT.
Abstract:
Polymers containing a norbornenyl group are readily crosslinked by irradiation to produce insoluble products. The crosslinked products are useful as coatings on wood, metal, etc., as selfsupporting films, wire insulation, for the treatment of fabrics to render them more durable and crease resistant, as well as in the many known areas in which synthetic polymers are employed such as the production of molded and extruded shaped articles.
