Preparation of olefin copolymers of sulfur dioxide or carbon monoxide

摘要

Copolymers of sulfur dioxide and/or carbon monoxide and olefins, especially ethylene, can be made by contacting these monomers with a combination of selected strong Lewis acid and a selected metal or a compound of a selected metal. The resulting polymers, which are often alternating copolymers, are useful as molding resins.
