| 摘要 |
<p>This invention pertains to polymerization of a monomer charge containing at least one norbornene-type monomer, an optional halometal activator, a ring opening methathesis catalyst and a cocatalyst. The cocatalyst is selected from alkoxyalkylaluminums, aryloxyalkylaluminums, alkoxyalkylaluminum halides, and aryloxyalkylaluminum halides which are prepared by reacting a cocatalyst component selected from alkylaluminum halides or alkylaluminums with a branched alcohol selected from tertiary alcohols, hindered primary alcohols, hindered secondary alcohols, and mixtures thereof. The use of these branched alcohols results in a longer pot life exceeding about one-half hour, preferably exceeding two hours of the monomer charge. This invention is also directed to the composition which includes at least one monomer, optional activator, and the cocatalyst.</p> |
