Abstract
Abstract This invention teaches the preparation of crosslinked copolymers of dicyclopentadiene and higher oligomers of cyclopentadiene. Such copolymers are characterized by having significantly higher heat distortion temperatures and glass transition temperatures than crosslinked dicyclopentadiene homopolymer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
36 words
A crosslinked copolymer comprising about 40 to 95% by weight, based on total copolymer weight, of repeating units derived from dicyclopentadiene and about 60 to 5% by weight of repeating units derived from higher cyclopentadiene oligomers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
36 words
A crosslinked copolymer comprising about 40 to 95% by weight, based on total copolymer weight, of repeating units derived from dicyclopentadiene and about 60 to 5% by weight of repeating units derived from higher cyclopentadiene oligomers.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The copolymer of claim 1 wherein at least about 85% of the higher cyclopentadiene oligomers is tricyclopentadiene.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
The copolymer of claim 1 wherein at least about 90% of the higher cyclopentadiene oligomers is tricyclopentadiene.
