Abstract
Abstract Copolymers, having a uniform structure, of cyclic dienes are obtained by heating a mixture of from 35 to 96% by weight of cyclopentadiene, dicyclopentadiene and/or methyldicyclopentadiene, which may or may not be partially replaced by methylcyclopentadiene or tricyclopentadiene or methyltricyclopentadiene, from 1 to 30% by weight of maleic anhydride, maleic acid or a monoalkyl maleate, which maleic acid or maleic acid derivatives may be partially replaced by other α,β-olefinically unsaturated monocarboxylic acids or dicarboxylic acids of 3 to 5 carbon atoms, and from 3 to 45% by weight of one or more vinyl-aromatics to 230°-320° C, during which heating the mixture does not remain at from 30° to 230° C for more than 5 hours, and preferably for not more than 2 hours. The copolymers may be used as binders for printing inks and coatings, and as additives in adhesives.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
Copolymers, having a uniform structure, of cyclic dienes, which copolymers have been obtained by heating a mixture of (A) from 35 to 96% by weight of one or more compounds selected from the group comprising cyclopentadiene, dicyclopentadiene, methyldicyclopentadiene, methylcyclopentadiene, tricyclopentadiene and methyltricyclopentadiene, (B) from 1 to 30% by weight of maleic anhydride, maleic acid or a monoalkyl maleate and (C) from 3 to 45% by weight of one or more vinyl-aromatics, the sum of the percentages of (A), (B) and (C) amounting to 100, to 230°-320° C., in the course of which heating the mixture does not remain for more than 5 hours at from 30° to 230° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
109 words
Copolymers, having a uniform structure, of cyclic dienes, which copolymers have been obtained by heating a mixture of (A) from 35 to 96% by weight of one or more compounds selected from the group comprising cyclopentadiene, dicyclopentadiene, methyldicyclopentadiene, methylcyclopentadiene, tricyclopentadiene and methyltricyclopentadiene, (B) from 1 to 30% by weight of maleic anhydride, maleic acid or a monoalkyl maleate and (C) from 3 to 45% by weight of one or more vinyl-aromatics, the sum of the percentages of (A), (B) and (C) amounting to 100, to 230°-320° C., in the course of which heating the mixture does not remain for more than 5 hours at from 30° to 230° C.
