Abstract
A hydrocarbon resin consisting essentially of a copolymer of (A) an unsaturated chain hydrocarbon or a cyclic hydrocarbon having a vinylidene group and (B) 9,10-dihydrodicyclopentadiene or its derivative, or a hydrocarbon resin modified by addition reacting an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride, or hydrogen, to the above-mentioned copolymer. The hydrocarbon resin and the modified hydrocarbon resin have a high softening point and a low melt viscosity, and are suitable for use in adhesives and traffic paints.
Claims20
A hydrocarbon resin modified by addition reacting an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or its derivative, or hydrogen, to a copolymer of (A) at least one unsaturated hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of (i) unsaturated chain hydrocarbons and (ii) cyclic hydrocarbons having a vinylidene group, and (B) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of 9,10-dihydrodicyclopentadiene and its derivatives, the amount of the polymerization unit of component (A) in the copolymer being 20 mol% to 98 mol% and that of component (B) in the copolymer being 80 mol% to 2 mol%.
A modified hydrocarbon resin as claimed in claim 4, wherein the ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid is .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated carboxylic acid.
A process for producing a hydrocarbon resin comprising copolymerizing 10 mol% to 80 mol% of (A) at least one unsaturated hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of (i) unsaturated chain hydrocarbons and (ii) cyclic hydrocarbons having a vinylidene group and 90 mol% to 20 mol% of (B) 9,10-dihydrodicyclopentadiene and its derivatives in the presence of a cationic polymerization catalyst.
A process for producing a hydrocarbon resin comprising copolymerizing 10 mol% to 80 mol% of (A) at least one unsaturated hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of (i) unsaturated chain hydrocarbons and (ii) cyclic hydrocarbons having a vinylidene group, and 90 mol% to 20 mol% of (B) 9,10-dihydrodicyclopentadiene and its derivatives in the presence of a radical polymerization catalyst.
