Abstract
This study involves research on possible relationships between the composition of ethylene/norbornene copolymers and their thermal properties. The copolymers were fully characterised by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), 13C NMR spectroscopy, Fourier transformation infra-red (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy. The results of this study show that there is no linear correlation between the amount of norbornene incorporated in copolymers and thermal behaviour when copolymers containing high norbornene content and different microstructures are considered. The latter of which was found to be extremely sensitive to the catalyst used in its preparation.
