Abstract
Polydicyclopentadiene is one of the most interesting advanced polymers. After ring open metathesis polymerization (ROMP) by using second generation Grubbs catalyst, we obtain a crosslinked polymer with good mechanical properties. Heating is used to initiate the polymerization process as well as to obtain a higher degree of crosslinking between the polymer chains. We try to analyze the correlation between second stage heating and the degree of cross-linking by using DSC-analysis. DSC analysis shows us a complex exothermic peak after glass transition temperature and this peak area was analyzed.
