Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is an improved method for making a thermoset polymer wherein a plurality of reactant streams, one of which contains the activator of a metathesis catalyst system combined with a moderator, and a second of which contains the catalyst of the metathesis catalyst system and at least one of which contains dicyclopentadiene are combined to form a reaction mixture, and the reaction mixture is then injected into a mold where polymerization occurs. The improvement comprises adding to the reaction mixture 1-25 mols of a cationic polymerization initiator per 1000 mols of dicyclopentadiene.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
In a method for making a thermoset polymer wherein a plurality of reactant streams, one of which contains the activator of a metathesis catalyst system combined with a moderator, and a second of which contains the catalyst of said metathesis catalyst system and at least one of which contains dicyclopentadiene, are combined to form a reaction mixture, and the reaction mixture is then injected into a mold where polymerization occurs, the improvement which comprises adding to the reaction mixture about 1 mol to about 25 mols of a cationic polymerization initiator per 1000 mols of dicyclopentadiene.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
96 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
11 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the initiator is tin tetrachloride.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method of claim 2 wherein the amount of initiator added is from 1 to about 5 mols per 1000 mols of dicyclopentadiene.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
