  • Cyclopentadienylethanol and bis(2-hydroxyethyl)dicyclopentadiene esters and grafts thereof on carboxyl modified polyolefins
    Patent number: 4895908
    Abstract: Novel esters and polyesters are prepared by reacting cyclopentadienylethanol, bis(2-hydroxyethyl)dicyclopentadiene, or mixtures of the two with monobasic acid esters and dibasic acid diesters. These esters and polyesters are characterized by a reversible cross-linking mechanism and have utility as superior coatings and adhesives. High molecular weight, cross-linked polymers are also prepared in the present invention by reacting cyclopentdienylethanol with a polyolefin wax having an ester, acid or anhydride functional group.
