Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

According to the method of the present invention, poly-4-methyl-1-pentene with a lower molecular weight can be easily and safely produced by mixing poly-4-methyl-1-pentene and another type of polyolefin (I) and conducting melt-stirring at a temperature equal to or higher than the melting points of both the poly-4-methyl-1-pentene and the polyolefin (I).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A method for producing poly-4-methyl-1-pentene with a lower molecular weight, the method comprising: mixing poly-4-methyl-1-pentene and another type of polyolefin (I); and conducting melt-stirring at a temperature equal to or higher than the melting points of both the poly-4-methyl-1-pentene and the polyolefin (I). 2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the polyolefin (I) has a tertiary carbon. 3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the polyolefin (I) is polypropylene. 4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mixing includes further adding a hindered phenol compound. 5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the polyolefin (I) has a lower viscosity than the poly-4-methyl-1-pentene. 6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the polyolefin (I) and the poly-4-methyl-1-pentene are not compatible with each other.
