Abstract
Polycyclic addition polymers derived from norbornene-type monomers are mixed with a variety of other polymers to generate families of new blends, alloys, and block copolymers.
Claims11
A polycyclic addition polymer consisting essentially of polycyclic repeating units wherein a portion of said repeating units contain pendant epoxide containing substituents represented by the formula:
- wherein n is 0 to 4, and R1 to R4 independently represents hydrogen, linear and branched C1 to C20 alkyl, hydrocarbyl substituted and unsubstituted C5 to C10 cycloalkyl, C6 to C24 aryl, and C7 to C15 aralkyl, with the proviso that at least one of R1 to R4 alone or taken together represents an epoxide containing substituent.
A polycyclic addition polymer consisting essentially of polycyclic repeating units represented by the formula:
- wherein n is 0 to 4, and R1 to R4 independently represents hydrogen, linear and branched C1 to C20 alkyl, hydrocarbyl substituted and unsubstituted C5 to C10 cycloalkyl, C6 to C24 aryl, and C7 to C15 aralkyl, and wherein one terminal end of the polymer chain is terminated with an epoxide group.
A polycyclic addition polymer consisting essentially of polycyclic repeating units wherein a portion of said repeating units contain pendant epoxide containing substituents and wherein one terminal end of the polymer chain is terminated with an epoxide group, said repeating unit containing the pendant epoxide repeating substituent is represented by the structure:
- wherein n is 0 to 4, and R1 to R4 independently represents hydrogen, linear and branched C1 to C20 alkyl, hydrocarbyl substituted and unsubstituted C5 to C10 cycloalkyl C6 to C24 aryl, and C7 to C15 aralkyl, with the proviso that at least one of R1 to R4 alone or taken together represents said pendant epoxide containing substituent.
