Copolymers of propylene and allyl alcohol

摘要

Copolymers of (a) one or more alpha -olefins having the formula (A) <IMAGE> (A) wherein R is a C1-C16 alkyl group or a phenyl group; and (b) one or more substituted alpha -olefins having the formula (B) <IMAGE> (B) wherein R1 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R2 is a hydrogen atom or a C1-C4 alkyl group, and Z is an -OH, -COOH, <IMAGE> in which R3 is a hydrogen atom or a C1-C4 alkyl group, and each of R4 and R5 is a C1-C4 alkyl group, said copolymers having from 1 to 50% by weight of the monomers of formula (B) incorporated therein in polymerized form and a melt flow index (MSI 230/5) of from 2 to 20 g/10 min. and a process for their manufacture.
