Abstract
In this work, copolymers of ethylene with 2,7‐octadienyl methyl ether have been synthesized in the presence of three single‐site catalysts. The obtained copolymers not only have a polar ether function but also a double bond in the side chains that is useful for secondary reactions. The polymers were characterized by GPC, EA, DSC, NMR, and FT‐IR. The catalytic activity depends on the kind of catalysts, the concentration of the polar monomer, and the concentration of the protecting agent. Up to 7.3 wt.‐% of MODE could be incorporated by the metallocene catalyst. These are in average 120 functional side groups in a polymer molecule with a molecular mass of 230 000.
