GC and MS analysis shows that the adducts contain two isomers, namely exo- and endo-TCPD. Theoretical simulation shows that although the transition state of endo-TCPD has a lower activation energy, exo-TCPD is thermodynamically preferred. Polar solvents can accelerate the reaction rate and improve the exo/endo ratio of TCPD because the transition state of exo-TCPD has a higher polarity than that of endo-TCPD. The solvent effect follows the order of polarity: benzyl methanol〉cyclohexanone〉toluene. The conversion rises when the temperature ranges from 120 to 150 ℃, but the selectivity of TCPD slightly decreases. Increasing the pressure can improve the conversion but the exo/endo ratio of TCPD is unchanged. The apparent kinetics in different solvents was determined via nonlinear regression. The activation energies are 99.47, 101.15, and 107.32 kJ/mol for benzyl methanol, cyclohexanone, and toluene, respectively. The optimal reaction conditions are as follows: benzyl methanol as solvent, temperature 150 ℃, and pressure 900 kPa. After an 11-hour reaction, a conversion of 58.0%, a TCPD selectivity of 95.7%, and an exo/endo ratio of 1/5.3 has been obtained.展开更多
The copolymerization of ethylene with dieyclopentadiene (DCP) in the presence of a constrained geometry tetramethylcyclopentadi-enyl-phenoxytitanium catalyst [ 2,4-' Bu2-6-( 2,3,4,5-Me4 -Cp ) -PhO ] TICl2, combin...The copolymerization of ethylene with dieyclopentadiene (DCP) in the presence of a constrained geometry tetramethylcyclopentadi-enyl-phenoxytitanium catalyst [ 2,4-' Bu2-6-( 2,3,4,5-Me4 -Cp ) -PhO ] TICl2, combined with AI( iBu)3/Ph3C^+ B( CsF5 )4^- cocatalyst system was studied. The copolymers that were formed were characterized by ' H and ,3 C NMR, differential scanning calorimetry ( DSC), SEM, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. The re- suits of the analysis indicate that the copolymers of ethylene with dicyclopentadiene are amorphous and display two or more melting temperatures in their DSC diagrams. Moreover, the morphologies of the copolymers are quite different from that of polyethylenes.展开更多

The chemical structure was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, and gel permeation chro-matography analyses. The thermal properties of the resulting polymer from diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A epoxy resin cured with the novel curing agent were evaluated using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis and thermogra-vimetric analysis. Compared with the conventional curing agent, the resulting polymer cured with naphtha-lene/DCPD navolac shows considerable improvement in heat resistant properties such as higher glass transition temperature (Tg) and thermal stability. The result also shows better moisture resistance because of the hydrophobic nature of naphthalene/DCPD structure.展开更多
