Polymers comprising ethylene, higher alpha-olefin comonomer and dienes, especially vinyl norbornene

摘要

This invention relates to olefin polymerization processes for polymerizing ethylene, higher alpha-olefin comonomer and dienes, especially vinyl norbornene, and especially process for producing amorphous or semi-crystalline polymers such as EPDM. The invention also relates to the novel polymers produced by such processes. The invention furthermore relates to articles of manufacture with an improved balance of toughness and curing properties.
