Abstract

Vinyl-polynorbornene has good thermal stability, high transparency and low dielectric constant. However, it has low solubility, poor mechanical and adhesive properties. In this work, polynorbornene derivatives were prepared by Pd(II) late transition metal catalyst. The polymers have good solubility, and are thermally stable up to$300^{\circ}C$ The glass transition temperature is decreased as the side-chain becomes bulkier. Structure-property relationship of polynorbornene derivatives measured by X-ray scattering, mechanical and electrical properties will be discussed.
