The synthesis of cyclic olefin copolymers (COCs) by ethylene copolymerisations with cyclooctene, cycloheptene, and with tricyclo[6.2.1.0(2,7)]undeca-4-ene: the effects of cyclic monomer structures on thermal properties

The synthesis of amorphous ethylene copolymers with cycloheptene, cis-cyclooctene, or tricyclo[6.2.1.0(2,7)]undeca-4-ene using half-titanocene catalysts and the effects of ring size and structure on the thermal properties have been demonstrated.
