This article provides an overview on recent progress in the addition copolymerization of
ethylene or α-olefins with cyclic olefins by various organometallic catalysts. Special …

Cationic rare earth metal alkyl species, generated by the treatment of mono
(cyclopentadienyl) bis (alkyl) rare earth metal complexes with 1 equiv. of a borate compound …

Cyclic olefin copolymers based on dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) are very attractive due to the
readily available DCPD resource, where the dangling C= C bonds are reactive and facilitate …

The scandium-catalyzed copolymerization of ethylene with dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) and
terpolymerization of ethylene, DCPD and styrene were investigated. The copolymerization of …

Novel cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) with high glass transition temperature, good
mechanical performance, high transparency, and excellent film forming ability has been …

A structurally well-defined THF-free cationic half-sandwich scandium aminobenzyl complex
serves as a novel catalyst for the first copolymerization of 1-hexene with dicyclopentadiene …

The copolymerization of ethylene‒diene conjugates (butadiene (BD), isoprene (IP) and
nonconjugates (5-ethylidene-2-norbornene (ENB), vinyl norbornene VNB, 4 …

The copolymerization of ethylene (E) with cyclic diene has been reported often in the
literature. However, to evaluate isoprene (IP) and butadiene (BD) as co-and ter-monomers …

Highly active metallocenes and other single site catalysts as well as Grubbs and Schrock
metathesis catalytic systems have opened up the possibility to polymerize cycloolefins or to …

This review describes recent progress in the polymerization of conjugated and
nonconjugated dienes catalyzed by transition metal complexes. Coordination …
