Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
A process for producing a novel hydrogenated resin which comprises the steps of: (i) copolymerizing a five-member cyclic compound (component A) selected from the group consisting of cyclopentadiene, dicyclopentadiene, and mixtures thereof, with a co-dimer (component B) of cyclopentadiene and 1,3-butadiene selected from the group consisting of tetrahydroindene, vinylnorbornene, and mixtures thereof, by heating a mixture of 20 to 90 parts by weight of said component A and 80 to 10 parts by weight of said component B at a temperature of from 220° to 350° C. to obtain a resin; and (ii) hydrogenating said resin to hydrogenate substantially all the carbon-carbon double bonds in the resin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
107 words
A process for producing a novel hydrogenated resin which comprises the steps of: (i) copolymerizing a five-member cyclic compound (component A) selected from the group consisting of cyclopentadiene, dicyclopentadiene, and mixtures thereof, with a co-dimer (component B) of cyclopentadiene and 1,3-butadiene selected from the group consisting of tetrahydroindene, vinylnorbornene, and mixtures thereof, by heating a mixture of 20 to 90 parts by weight of said component A and 80 to 10 parts by weight of said component B at a temperature of from 220° to 350° C. to obtain a resin; and (ii) hydrogenating said resin to hydrogenate substantially all the carbon-carbon double bonds in the resin.
