Abstract:
A scaleable and high-yielding method of preparing copolymers that is useful as a component of a radiation sensitive resin composition is provided. The method includes the step of reacting at least one monomer A which is an unsaturated alicyclic monomer and forms a polymer main chain by dissociation of the unsaturated bond, and at least one unsaturated monomer B, which also forms a polymer chain by dissociation of an unsaturated bond, wherein less than two electron-withdrawing groups are directly appended to said unsaturation, and where said monomer B is other than the unsaturated alicyclic monomer and forms a polymer main chain, in the presence of a free radical initiator. The reacting step is carried out in a stoichiometric excess of monomer A as compared to monomer B. By carrying out the reacting step in an excess of monomer A as compared to monomer B, the resultant copolymer will have a greater molar concentration of monomer A than is obtainable using other methods.

Abstract:
This invention comprises a metallocene catalyst system for the production of high molecular weight polyolefins, particularly polyethylene and higher poly-alpha olefins, and copolymers of ethylene and/or alpha olefins with other unsaturated monomers, including diolefins, acetylenically unsaturated monomers and cyclic olefins. The catalyst system is highly active, at low ratios of Al to transition metal, and hence catalyzes the production of a polyolefin product containing low levels of catalyst metal residues. The catalyst system comprises (i) a metallocene precursor (Component A), aluminoxane (Component B), and phenolic modifier (Component C) or (ii) the reaction product of a metallocene precursor with a phenolic compound (Component A′) and aluminoxane (Component B). There is also provide a polymerization process using the catalyst and the product so produced.
