New Materials from Thermal and Photoinduced Ring Opening Metathesis Polymerisation (ROMP/PROMP)

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 56))

Abstract

Material properties of olefin metathesis polymers made by thermal (ROMP) or photoinduced (PROMP) polymerization with ruthenium (II)-salts and the later developed ruthenium-phosphines as catalysts are described. The low oxidative stability was improved by copolymerization with so-called “build-in” antioxidants (AOs), i.e. hindered phenols or aromatic amines bearing 2-norbornene units.

  7. 30 mg Ru(H2O)6tos2 were dissolved in 20 ml EtOH/H2O and stirred 24 h with 2.0g poly(norbornene). After filtration and washing with EtOH and water, 500 ppm Ru were found in the polymer. Dissolving the polymer in toluene, precipitation into EtOH and drying gave still a Ru-content of 430 ppm.
