The conditions of thermal isomerisation of nadic anhydride were optimi
sed. Nadic anhydride (exo) and N-phenyl nadimide were polymerised meta
thetically using WCl6/(CH3)(4)Sn catalyst system. The effect of reacti
on parameters such as duration and monomer : tungsten : tin mole ratio
on % conversion and intrinsic viscosity of the polymers was investiga
ted. The polymers formed were characterised using H-1-NMR, differentia
l scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
