Abstract

A series of C60-containing polymers were synthesized by the co-polymerization of a C60-cyclopentadiene cycloadduct and norbornene in varying ratios. The polymerization was facilitated by a catalytic amount of Grubbs second generation catalyst and the co-polymers formed were investigated by spectroscopic and thermal techniques.
