Various compositions encompassing polymers containing acidic pendent groups in combination with one or more reactive olefinic compounds and a photoacid generators form self-imagable negative tone films. Examples of such polymers include polymers and copolymers containing norbornene-type repeating units having acidic pendent groups, ring opened maleic anhydride polymers, polyacrylic acid, polyhydroxystyrene polymers, and the like. The films formed from such compositions provide self imagable, low-k, thermally stable layers for use in microelectronic and optoelectronic devices, among other applications.

Embodiments in accordance with the present invention encompass a composition containing a latent catalyst and a compound capable of generating a Bronsted acid with a counterion capable of coordinating and activating the latent catalyst along with one or more monomers which undergo ring open metathesis polymerization (ROMP) and one or more multi-functional crosslinkable molecules when said composition is exposed to a suitable radiation forms a three-dimensional (3D) object. The catalyst system employed therein can be sensitive to oxygen and thus inhibits polymerization in ambient atmospheric conditions. The three-dimensional objects made by this process exhibits improved mechanical properties, particularly, high distortion temperature, impact strength, elongation to break, among others. Accordingly, compositions of this invention are useful as 3D inkjet materials for forming high impact strength objects of various sizes with microscale features lower than 100 microns, among various other uses.
An optical waveguide structure has excellent heat resistance and a low water absorbing property and can be manufactured with a low material cost. Such an optical waveguide structure includes: an optical waveguide having two surfaces, a core layer including core portions and cladding portions each having a refractive index lower than that of each of the core portions, the core layer having two surfaces, and cladding layers provided so as to make contact with the two surfaces of the core layer and having a refractive index lower than that of each of the core portions; and conductor layers provided on the two surfaces of the optical waveguide. In the optical waveguide structure, each of the cladding layers is formed of a norbornene-based polymer as a major component thereof. Further, it is preferred that the norbornene-based polymer is composed of molecules each represented by the following formula 1 as a major component thereof:
wherein R is an alkyl group having a carbon number of 1 to 10, “a” is an integer of 0 to 3, “b” is an integer of 1 to 3, and “p”/“q” is 20 or less.
