Abstract:Tricyclo[5.2.1 .O'."]deca-2,5,8-triene ( I ) (trivial name: dehydro-isodicyc1opentadiene)or a mixture of its methyl derivatives were used as termonomers to obtain ethylene-propylenetriene terpolymers (EPTM's) having unusual properties in the curing process, even at low levels of triene (ca. 1 wt-'Y"). Three types of catalyst systems have been investigated, i. e. based on VCI4, VO[O(CHz),C'H.3].3, or V(acac), and (C2H5)2A1CI. Several parameters of the terpolymerization process were studied (e.g. Al/V mole ratio… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
