We characterized metallocene-catalyzed cyclo-olefin copolymers (mCOCs) with similar heat distortion temperatures but dramatic differences in melt-flow indices to understand how the molecular conformation affected their rheological and viscoelastic properties. The mCOC conformations were identified with C-13-NMR, whereas the viscoelastic and rheological properties were measured with cone-and-plate and high-pressure capillary rheometers. Our preliminary results showed that the mCOC rheological and viscoelastic properties might depend strongly on the conformation rather than the norbornene content, molecular weight, and molecular weight distribution. mCOCs containing -NNN- locks (where N represents norbornene) exhibited stronger molecular entanglements than those having no -NNN- blocks, as reflected in lower crossover frequencies and higher crossover torque. Furthermore, the existence of larger rigid -NNN- blocks resulted in higher molten viscosities and flow activation energies.
