CATALYTIC OLEFIN BLOCK COPOLYMERS VIA POLYMERIZABLE SHUTTLING AGENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a polymerization process and the like that is capable of preparing copolymers having unique properties in a high-yield process adapted for commercial utilization.

SOLUTION: This invention relates to a polymerization process and the resulting polymer composition, the process comprising a step of polymerizing one or more addition polymerizable monomers and a polymerizable shuttling agent in the presence of at least one addition polymerization catalyst comprising a metal compound or complex and a cocatalyst under conditions characterized by the formation of a branched polymer, preferably comprising pseudo-block molecular architecture.
