| abstract |
This invention relates to a polymacromonomer comprising at least one macromonomer and from 0 to 20 wt % of a C 2 to C 12 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 70 wt % macromonomer, based upon the weight of the polymacromonomer, g) from 0 to 20 wt % aromatic containing monomer, based upon the weight of the polymacromonomer and h) optionally, a melting point of 50° C. or more. This invention also relates to processes to make such polymacromonomers. |
