Abstract:
A terpolymer-diene composition that is readily curable with conventional vulcanizing agents is provided by preparing a mixture of diene polymer or copolymer with an olefinic terpolymer which includes at least one GROUP DIRECTLY BOUND TO TWO CARBON ATOMS, EACH OF WHICH IS CHARACTERIZED BY ETHYLENIC UNSATURATION, WHEREIN R1 is a hydrocarbon radical.
Abstract:
Terpolymers are disclosed which are subject to crosslinking in the absence of any vulcanizing agent or accelerator and which are obtained from Alpha -olefine monomers and a terpolymer having side chains consisting of a GROUP WHICH IS DIRECTLY LINKED TO TWO CARBON ATOMS, EACH OF WHICH HAS AN ETHYLENIC BOND, E.G.: WHEREIN R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and hydrocarbon radicals which contain from one to five carbon atoms and which may include pairs of radicals that may be cyclized to form one or more rings having from four to seven carbon atoms.
