The use of vinylcyclohexane dioxide (VCD) as a polar dehydrant with subsequent embedment in Spurr was studied. Vinylcyclohexane (VCH) was copolymerized with ethene and propene using methylaluminoxane-activated metallocene catalysts.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
