Reaktionsschritte

Grubbs catalyst containing MCs (approximately 1 mg) were dispersed in neat DCPD (100 mg). The MCs were ruptured with a laser or by physical crushing. After rupturing, a gel was produced in approximately 10-30 minutes, with formation of a rubbery state, and then a solid resin over time. No gelling of DCPD was evident over two weeks with uncrushed MCs; however, the latent catalyst remained active as subsequent rupture of the MCs that had been left for five days still produced a gel in approximately 45-60 minutes. A background gelling rate of approximately 1 day was obtained with prepared particles that were not free flowing.
