Abstract:
A NEW AMORPHOUS OLEFINIC TERPOLYMER THAT IS READILY CURABLE, AND WHICH MAY BE PREPARED BY POLYMERIZING A MIXTURE OF TWO DIFFERENT ALPHA-OLEFINS HAVING UP TO TEN CARBON ATOMS AND A POLYCYCLIC POLYENE REPRESENTED BY THE FORMULA A-(CH2)N-B WHEREIN A IS A RADICAL COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE RING HAVING AN ENDROMETHYLENE GROUP, B IS A CYCLODIENE RADICAL AND N IS 0 TO 5, IS DISCLOSED.
Abstract:
Vulcanizable olefin tetrapolymers are described which are comprised of ethylene, an alpha-olefin having at least 3 carbon atoms, at least one conventional terpolymer such as exodicyclopentadiene, and a minor amount of a polycyclic polyene containing an endomethylene system ortho-condensed with another hydrocarbon ring, and wherein the two carbon atoms common to two rings belong to a conjugated diene system whose double bonds are in the ring other than the endomethylene ring.
Abstract:
Vulcanizable olefin tetrapolymers are described which are comprised of ethylene, an alpha-olefin having at least three carbon atoms, at least one conventional terpolymer such as endoand exo-dicyclopentadiene, and a minor amount of a polycyclic polyene represented by the formula A-(CH2)n-B, wherein A is a radical consisting of or containing at least one cyclohexane ring with or without an endomethylene bridge, B is a cyclodiene radical and n is a number ranging from 0 to 5.
