Abstract:
A new amorphous olefinic terpolymer is disclosed which is characterized by high vulcanization velocity and is represented by the formula:
WHEREIN A is a group containing at least one endomethylenic ring, R1, R2, R3 and R4 are members of the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl radical containing from one to eight carbon atoms and n is 0 to 8.
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:
A process is disclosed whereby butyl rubber of high molecular weight and excellent physical characteristics is readily prepared by copolymerizing isobutylene and isoprene in the presence of a catalyst system consisting of: A. A METALORGANIC COMPOUND (E.G., Al Et2 Cl); and B. AN ORGANIC COMPOUND HAVING FROM 1 TO 24 CARBON ATOMS AND AN ELECTRON AFFINITY VALUE IN THE RANGE FROM 0.3 TO 2 ELECTRON VOLTS (E.G., 1.3.5.-TRINITROBENZENE).
Abstract:
A CURABLE AMORPHOUS OLEFINIC TERPOLYMER OF TWO DIFFERENT ALPHA-OLEFINS HAVING UP TO 10 CARBON ATOMS AND A POLYCYCLIC POLYENE, SUCH AS 4,7 ENDOMETHYLENE-4,7-DIHYDROINDENE, WHICH CONTAINS AN ENDOMETHYLENE GROUP ORTHO-CONDENSED WITH A HYDROCARBON RING, THE TWO CARBON ATOMS COMMON TO TWO RINGS BEING PART OF A CONJUGATED DIENE SYSTEM THE DOUBLE BONDS OF WHICH ARE IN THE RING OTHER THAN THAT CONTAINING THE ENDOMETHYLENE GROUP, IS DISCLOSED.
Abstract:
NOVEL TERPOLYMERS ARE DISCLOSED COMPRISING TWO DIFFERENT A-OLEFINS AND AN ORTHOCONDENSED ISOPROPYLIDENECONTAINING POLYCYCLIC POLYENE HAVING THE FORMULS:
WHEREIN EACH OF SAID R'',R2,R3,R4 AND R5 IS H, METHYL OR ETHYL, PROVIDED AT LEAST ONE OF SID R1 OR R2 IS METHYL OR ETHYL, THE CONCENTRATION OF SAID POLYCYCLIC POLYENE IN THE TERPOLYMER BEING FROM 1 TO 30% BY WEIGHT AND THE MOLE RATIO OF SAID DIFFERENT ALPHA-OLEFINS BEING IN THE RANGE FROM 1:4 TO 4:1.
