PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF CYCLIC OLEFIN COPOLYMER AND COPOLYMER PRODUCED BY SAID PROCESS

摘要

There is provided a process for producing a cyclic olefin copolymer by copolymerizing (A) ethylene and (B) a particular cyclic olefin in the presence of (C) a metallocene catalyst and (D) a small amount of an .alpha.-olefin having 3 to 20 carbon atoms. According to the said process, said copolymer can be produced at a high activity and its molecular weight can be controlled in a wide range. The copolymer produced by the said process has excellent properties inherent to the cyclic olefin copolymer.
