Polymers and method of making the same

Claim 1

THE METHOD OF REMOVING IMPURITIES FROM APOLYMER PREPARED BY CATALYTIC POLYMERIZATION IN THE PRESENCE OF A CATALYST HAVING AT LEAST TWO ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS ONE OF SAID COMPONENTS BEING A METAL COMPOUND SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF GROUP IV, GROUP V AND GROUP VI METAL COMPOUNDS, AND ANOTHER OF SAID COMPONENTS BEING SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ORGANOMETAL COMPOUNDS, METAL HYDRIDES, AND METALS OF GROUPS 1, 11 AND 111, WHICH COMPRISES CONTACING A SOLUTION OF SAID POLYMER IN A RELATIVELY INERT, NON-DELETERIOUS SOLVENT, LIQUID UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF THE PROCESS CONTAINING SAID IMPURITIES AND A LIQUID TREATING AGENT IMMISCIBLE WITH SAID SOLUTION AT A TEMPERATURE OF AT LEAST 180*F., FORMING TWO SEPARATE PHASE FROM THE CONTACTED MATERIALS, NAMELY, A SOLVENT PHASE CONTAINING SAID POLYMER AND A LIQUID TREATING AGENT PHASE, SAID TREATING AGENT SELECTIVELY EXTRACTING IMPURITIES FROM THE SOLVENT PHASE, AND RECOVERING POLYMER FROM SAID SOLVENT PHASE.

Claim 2

THE METHOD OF REMOVING IMPURITIES FROM APOLYMER PREPARED BY CATALYTIC POLYMERIZATION IN THE PRESENCE OF A CATALYST HAVING AT LEAST TWO ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS ONE OF SAID COMPONENTS BEING A METAL COMPOUND SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF GROUP IV, GROUP V AND GROUP VI METAL COMPOUNDS, AND ANOTHER OF SAID COMPONENTS BEING SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ORGANOMETAL COMPOUNDS, METAL HYDRIDES, AND METALS OF GROUPS 1, 11 AND 111, WHICH COMPRISES CONTACING A SOLUTION OF SAID POLYMER IN A RELATIVELY INERT, NON-DELETERIOUS SOLVENT, LIQUID UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF THE PROCESS CONTAINING SAID IMPURITIES AND A LIQUID TREATING AGENT IMMISCIBLE WITH SAID SOLUTION AT A TEMPERATURE OF AT LEAST 180*F., FORMING TWO SEPARATE PHASE FROM THE CONTACTED MATERIALS, NAMELY, A SOLVENT PHASE CONTAINING SAID POLYMER AND A LIQUID TREATING AGENT PHASE, SAID TREATING AGENT SELECTIVELY EXTRACTING IMPURITIES FROM THE SOLVENT PHASE, AND RECOVERING POLYMER FROM SAID SOLVENT PHASE.
