Va. Efimov et al., EFFECT OF LINEAR OLEFINS ON POLYMERIZATIO N OF CYCLOOLEFINS, Vysokomolekularnye soedinenia. Seria A, 35(8), 1993, pp. 20001380-20001382
Polymerization of cyclooctadiene-1,5 and cyclopentene in the presence
of linear olefins was studied. The authors were the first to show that
open-chain olefins can slow down polymerization of cycloolefins. The
inhibiting effect of linear olefins depends on the nature of a particu
lar cycloolefin, the catalytic system, and the chain transfer agent.
