Dimethylnorbornene, isopropylnorbornene or a mixture thereof is copolymerized by ring opening with (1) at least one acyclic monoolefin or nonconjugated acyclic olefin and (2) optionally, dicyclopentadiene. The copolymers are thermoplastics which can be calendered and thermoformed, for example, to make rigid automotive goods such as glovebox covers, hubcaps and the like.

Alkyl norbornyl ether sulfonates are prepared by reacting, for example, an allyl alcohol ethoxylate with an alkyl norbornene in the presence of an acid catalyst. The allyl ethers so obtained are subsequently sulfonated. These compounds, which exhibit a high degree of detergency, are useful for solubilizing petroleum sulfonates in oil fluid brine solutions.
At least one alkylnorbornene, wherein the alkyl group contains from 8 to 12 carbon atoms, is copolymerized by ring opening with (1) at least one acyclic monoolefin or nonconjugated acyclic olefin and (2) optionally, dicyclopentadiene. These copolymers have substantially lower glass transition temperatures than lower alkylnorbornene copolymers and can be injection molded to make appliance housings and the like, or calendered and thermoformed to make, for example, automotive goods such as glovebox covers and the like.
