Herstellung von Polymeren mit hohem Feststoffgehalt durch In-Situ-Isomerisation

摘要

An improved process for the free radical copolymerization of a mixture of olefins and a polar monomer is disclosed. The process requires the catalytic isomerization of internally-unsaturated olefins to terminally-unsaturated olefins during the copolymerization reaction. The process results in improved yields in terms of solid product formation and in lower costs than conventional processes. The process is especially useful for the preparation of diisobutylenemaleic anhydride copolymers.
