摘要:
Elastomeric ethylene/propylene or ethylene/propylene/-polyene copolymers containing small amounts of one or more .alpha.-olefins are prepared by a slurry process wherein the polymerization reaction is carried out in a mixture of liquid propylene and alpha-olefin. Problems due to fouling phenomena in the reactor are avoided.

Novel copolymers of ethylene with propylene and optionally with minor proportions of a diene or polyene having good elastomeric properties in their uncured state. The copolymers are characterized by a structure in which the propylene is partially present in the form of short isotactic sequences. Tension set values (200%) of less than 15 are obtained by when the ethylene/propylene ratio has specific values and the intrinsic viscosity values are higher than 3.
