COMPARED WITH POLYMERS OBTAINED WITH KNOWN CATALYSTS, THE PRESENT POLYMER HAS NARROWER MOLECULAR WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION AND IS THERMALLY MORE STABLE AND MORE RESISTANT TO OXIDATION SO THAT NO SPECIAL STABILIZING TREATMENT IS NECESSARY. THE POLYMER SHOWS IMPROVEMENT IS CREEP RESISTANCE, DIMENSIONAL STABILITY, ENVIROMENTAL STRESS CRACKING, ECT.
