Abstract
Abstract A cycloolefin copolymerization method, feed composition and product made from the feed which includes: a nonpolar cycloolefin, a polar cycloolefin and a catalyst. Preferably, the nonpolar cycloolefin is dicyclopentadiene, the catalyst comprises WCl 6 , the polar cycloolefin is an ester, and the composition also includes an activator.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
54 words
A substantially cross-linked copolymer product comprising polymerized units of dicyclopentadiene and a comonomer selected from the group consisting of 2-hydroxymethyl-5-norbornene adipate; methyl-5-norbornene-2-carboxylate; ethylene-bis-(5-norbornene-2-carboxylate); 2-hydroxymethyl-5-norbornene acetate ethylene-bis-(5-norbornene-2-carboxylate); and, said copolymer product having a glass transition temperature of at least 145° C., and a swell of less than about 245% in toluene after for 16 hours.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
54 words
A substantially cross-linked copolymer product comprising polymerized units of dicyclopentadiene and a comonomer selected from the group consisting of 2-hydroxymethyl-5-norbornene adipate; methyl-5-norbornene-2-carboxylate; ethylene-bis-(5-norbornene-2-carboxylate); 2-hydroxymethyl-5-norbornene acetate ethylene-bis-(5-norbornene-2-carboxylate); and, said copolymer product having a glass transition temperature of at least 145° C., and a swell of less than about 245% in toluene after for 16 hours.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
76 words
A method of rate moderated dicyclopentadiene polymerization comprising: contacting dicyclopentadiene, cycloolefin comonomer, an aluminum containing activator and a tungsten containing catalyst, to form a polymerization mixture, said mixture being 50% by weight or less of said cycloolefin, said cycloolefin being 2-hydroxymethyl-5-norbornene adipate; methyl-5-norbornene-2-carboxylate; ethylene-bis-(5-norbornene-2-carboxylate); 2-hydroxymethyl-5-norbornene acetate or ethylene-bis-(2-methyl-5-norbornene-2-carboxylate) polymerizing said polymerization mixture, said cycloolefin being present in a concentration effective to increase the time from said contacting to the maximum temperature of the exotherm of polymerization.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
76 words
A method of rate moderated dicyclopentadiene polymerization comprising: contacting dicyclopentadiene, cycloolefin comonomer, an aluminum containing activator and a tungsten containing catalyst, to form a polymerization mixture, said mixture being 50% by weight or less of said cycloolefin, said cycloolefin being 2-hydroxymethyl-5-norbornene adipate; methyl-5-norbornene-2-carboxylate; ethylene-bis-(5-norbornene-2-carboxylate); 2-hydroxymethyl-5-norbornene acetate or ethylene-bis-(2-methyl-5-norbornene-2-carboxylate) polymerizing said polymerization mixture, said cycloolefin being present in a concentration effective to increase the time from said contacting to the maximum temperature of the exotherm of polymerization.
