ROMP of acetoxy-substituted dicyclopentadiene to a linear polymer with a high Tg

Abstract

A polydicyclopentadiene derivative was obtained via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of acetoxy-substituted dicyclopentadiene (AcO-DCPD) using the Grubbs 1st generation catalyst. Analyses of the polymer microstructures indicate that polymers are linear. The glass transition temperatures (Tg) of the linear polymers range from 136 °C to 159 °C, which are much higher than that of linear polydicyclopentadiene.
