  • Published:
Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A high degree of hydrogenation of a polypentenamer was achieved with a homogeneous catalyst based on a metal alkyl-transition metal complex . Essentially complete saturation of the polymer was achieved without significant changes in molecular weight or molecular weight distribution.
