The invention relates to the field of cycloolefin polymers, in particular to a cycloolefin
polymer and a preparation method and application thereof.According to the cycloolefin
polymer, structural units shown in a formula I, a formula II and a formula III jointly act at a specific
molar ratio, so that the cycloolefin
polymer has excellent optical performance,
thermal stability and flexibility; especially, an
elastomer unit with a cyclohexyl side group is introduced to a
norbornene and derivative unit main chain, and a flexible aliphatic
alkyl unit is introduced to a
norbornene and derivative unit
side chain multi-ring, so that the rigidity and flexibility adjustable range of the COP polymer is wide, the material flexibility is improved through the
elastomer unit, and the rigidity and flexibility of the COP polymer are improved. And the
internal stress of the material during molding is reduced, the
brittleness is improved, the COP polymer is endowed with excellent mechanical properties, and meanwhile, the excellent optical properties and
thermal stability of the cycloolefin polymer are also maintained.
