CHAIN SATURATED COPOLYMERS OF ETHYLENE, A-UMONOOLEFINS, AND TR IENES CONTAINING SIDE-CHAINS NON-TERMINAL CONJUGATED UNSATURATION

摘要

An elastomeric EPTM copolymer is provided which has an inherent viscosity of about 0.2-6.0, which will undergo a conventional Diels-Alder reaction with a dienophile, and which has a substantially saturated backbone chain with side-chains containing non-terminal conjugated double bonds. A method is also disclosed for preparing the EOTM copolymer using an aluminum/magnesium/titanium catalyst.
