The use of a certain copolymer is described for reducing the gas-permeability of rubber material. A rubber material provided with a barrier material in the form of the copolymer is also described. The copolymer can be produced via ring-opening metathesis polymerization of a) one first olefin monomer selected from the group consisting of cyclic olefin monomers having at least one endocyclic C—C double bond, where no tertiary carbon atom bearing a hydrogen atom is present in alpha-position to the double bond, and b) one second olefin monomer selected from the group consisting of cyclic olefin monomers having one endocyclic C—C double bond, where a tertiary carbon atom bearing a hydrogen atom is present in at least one alpha-position to the double bond, where the copolymer has been oxidized at least to some extent, where the amount of polycyclic olefin monomers used to produce the copolymer with at least two C—C double bonds is zero or less than 1 mol %, based on the entirety of the monomers.
Abstract:
The invention relates to aqueous compositions comprising a) at least one polymer PALK in the form of dispersed polymer particles, wherein the polymer PALK is obtainable by ring-opening metathesis polymerization of at least one cyclic olefin monomer, and b) at least one polymer P2 in the form of dispersed polymer particles, wherein the polymer P2 comprises no olefinically unsaturated C—C-bond and has repeating units bearing at least one polar group. The aqueous compositions are suitable in particular for producing sheetings and barrier coatings having a very good barrier action toward gases, such as air, oxygen, nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, and in particular toward oxygen and oxygenous gases, such as air. The sheetings and coatings also have very good mechanical properties, in particular a high elongation at break coupled with good tear strength.
