The FTIR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR analysis results revealed that the structure of the obtained polynorbornenes consisted of vinyl addition polymer substructures without any ring-opening structures. The polymers were amorphous with a short-range order, displayed in the WAXD(wide angle X-ray diffraction) diagrams. The glass transition temperatures ranged from 200 to 400 ℃. The effects of the polymerization reaction conditions, such as Al/Fe molar ratio and toluene/CH_2Cl_2 volume ratio, on the activity, intrinsic viscosity and T_g were also studied.展开更多

The newly developed bis-3-bromopyridine complex of Grubbs catalyst was employed in the series of polymerization and it yielded the desired polymers with great molecular weight control and narrow polydispersities. The characteristics of the block copolymers were investigated by gel permeation chromatography, H- and 13H- NMR spectroscopy. Complexation of the alkynyl group containing block copolymers by treatment with dicobalt octacarbonyl occurred smoothly in 5 min at room temperature. GPC analysis before and after cobalt complexation indicated a significant increase of the hydrodynamic volume. AFM images of the films before and after the complexation also showed a noticeable change in its morphology where grain sizes become smaller and more regular upon complexation.展开更多

Both catalysts were used to synthesize random and block high molecular weight copolymers which were further hydrogenated using a Wilkinson’s catalyst. Then, the saturated copolymers were modified by reacting with sodium 4-hydroxybenzene-sulfonate dihydrate to generate new ionomers with fluoro-sulfonic acid pendant groups.展开更多
