Poly(1-decene)
Poly(1-decene), CAS 68037-01-4, with the linear formula [CH2CH[(CH2)7CH3]]n, is a hydrophobic polymer derived from olefins. This viscous liquid, characterized by a refractive index of n20/D 1.462 and a density of 0.833 g/mL at 25 °C, finds utility in materials science and polymer research. Its high boiling point and specific viscosity make it suitable for applications requiring stable, non-polar polymeric materials.
