Oligomerization of Dicyclopentadiene Fraction Using Monosubstituted Titanium Chloride as a Catalyst

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the dicyclopentadiene fraction of liquid pyrolysis product oligomerization with the use of the modified catalytic system based on titanium alkoxides. The choice of reaction catalyst is specified by searching the ways of obtaining petroleum resins with the improved performance characteristics and the possibility of low-temperature polymerization. The use of monosubstituted titanium chloride as a catalyst allows obtaining light resins, films on the base of which are smooth, glossy and have good technical characteristics: adhesion 1 point, resilience <1 mm, impact resistance >10 cm.
