RING-OPENED COPOLYMERS OF DIHYDRODICLOPENTADIENE, NORBORNENE OR ALKYLNORBORNENE, AND ACYCLIC OLEFIN

摘要

1,2-Dyhidrodicyclopentadiene is copolymerized by ring opening with (1) norbornene, at least one alkylnorbornene or a mixture thereof and (2) at least one acyclic monoolefin or nonconjugated acyclic olefin. The copolymers can be calendered and thermoformed, for example, to make rigid automotive goods such as glovebox covers, hubcaps, and the like.
