Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer compounds, specifically to a method for synthesizing hexylnorbornene and its application in polycyclic olefins. Background Technology

[0002] Polycyclic olefins (PEOs) are highly transparent polyolefin materials with numerous superior properties, finding wide application in optical materials, pharmaceuticals, and vaccines. However, most PEOs are prepared by ring-opening polymerization of norbornene derivative monomers via ROMP followed by hydrogenation. This results in polymers with numerous cyclic structures, high rigidity, but insufficient toughness and impact resistance. Furthermore, PEO solutions exhibit low stability, readily precipitating out of the reaction solution, increasing the difficulty of devolatilization and granulation. Therefore, optimizing norbornene derivative monomers and developing a norbornene derivative with mild reaction conditions, short reaction time, and high conversion rate for application in PEO preparation is crucial for improving the toughness and impact resistance of PEOs.

[0003] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 1-168724 discloses a ternary cyclic olefin polymer synthesized via ROMP ring-opening polymerization, exhibiting excellent light transmittance, low water absorption, and scratch resistance. However, this ternary cyclic olefin polymer generally has low mechanical strength, low impact strength, and poor toughness. Japanese Patent Application JP 2005-290232 A discloses that increasing the NB content in the polymerization process can improve the solution stability, impact resistance, and toughness of the cyclic olefin polymer; however, a high NB content will lower the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the polycyclic olefin material, affecting its processability.

[0005] This invention controls the molar ratio of octene to dicyclopentadiene to be (0.8-2):(0.5-1), making the reactant ratio more favorable for the Diels-Alder reaction.
