[ 1 ] - Propene-cycloolefin polymerization

Highly active metallocenes and other single site catalysts have opened up the possibility of polymerizing cycloolefins such as norbornene (N) or of copolymerizing them with ethene (E) or propene (P). The polymers obtained show exciting structures and properties. E-N copolymers are industrially produced materials, with variable and high glass transitions depending on the wide range of their micr...
