abstract |
This invention relates to a polymacromonomer comprising at least one macromonomer and from 0 to 20wt% of a C2 to C12 comonomer, wherein the macromonomer has vinyl termination of at least 70%, and wherein the polymacromonomer has: a) a g value of less than 0.6, b) an Mw of greater than 30,000 g/mol, c) an Mn of greater than 20,000 g/mol, d) a branching index (g')ViS of less than 0.5, e) less than 25% vinyl terminations, f) at least 70wt% macromonomer, based upon the weight of the polymacromonomer, g) from 0 to 20wt% aromatic containing monomer, based upon the weight of the polymacromonomer andh) optionally, a melting point of 50oC or more. This invention also relates to processes to make such polymacromonomers. |
