POLYMERIZATION OF BULKY NORBORNENE DERIVATIVES WITH A RING OPENING METATHESIS CATALYST SYSTEM AND POLYMERS OBTAINABLE THEREWITH

摘要

A process for the production of thermoset copolymers, having tailored product properties and more particularly a predetermined increase of the glass-transition temperature, comprising contacting at least one monomer of the formulae: CHEM with a metathesis catalyst system, obtainable by combining at least a catalyst component and an activator component; monomer II to be used for said process; reaction mixtures or components thereof containing such monomers; and homopolymers or copolymers obtained by said process.
