Abstract:

Vinyl-addition copolymerization of norbornene(NB) and polar monomer n-butyl methacrylate(n-BMA) were carried out via two novel high activity catalysts, Ni(Ⅱ)(benzocyclohexan-ketoarylimino)2 (Ni{C10H8(O)C[2,6-C6H3(CH3)2N]CH3}2, C1) and Ni{C10H8(O)C[2,6-C6H3Cl2N]CH3}2, C2), in combination with tris(pentafluorophenyl)-borance[B(C6F5)3]. A possible catalytic deactivation mechanism of polymerization was presented. Influence of monomer feed ratio on catalytic activity, conversion rate and properties of outcomes were investigated. Reactivity ratios of co-monomers were estimated by Kelen-Tüdõs method, they are rn-BMA=0.02, rNB=16.28, rNB·rn-BMA=0.32 for C1/B(C6F5)3 catalytic system, and rn-BMA=0.01, rNB=64.83, rNB·rn-BMA=0.65 for C2/B(C6F5)3 catalytic system. These indicate the random copolymerization of NB/n-BMA occurs with both C1/B(C6F5)3 and C2/B(C6F5)3.
