Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
In a process for preparing thermoset polymeric molded articles wherein a liquid reaction stream comprising a metathesis polymerizable strained ring non-conjugated cycloolefin, a metathesis polymerization catalyst, an activator selected from the group consisting of alkylaluminum, alkylzinc and alkyltin compounds, and a reaction rate moderator wherein said moderator delays onset of polymerization, are charged to a mold in which polymerization will take place, the improvement wherein said reaction rate moderator comprises: ##STR13## wherein X, Y and Z represent alkyl, cycloalkyl, alicyclic, aryl, aralkyl, alkaryl, alkoxy, alkylthio, aryloxy, arylthio, halogen or thiophene groups and W represents oxygen, sulfur or nothing.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
