Monomers having a norbornene as polymerizable group and a 2,2,6,6-tetr
amethyl piperidine as stabilizing moiety were prepared. This monomer w
as successfully copolymerized with ethylene using VAc3/AlEt2Cl as the
catalytic system. Copolymers exhibited better stability under accelera
ted aging than polyethylene stabilized by classical blending with comm
ercial hindered amines. Any attempt made to obtain copolymers using a
high activity TiCl4/MgCl2 catalyst was unsuccessful. (C) 1994 John Wil
