    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a composition comprising from 5 to 20 parts by weight per hundred parts by weight rubber (phr) of a propylene-α-olefin-diene (PEDM) terpolymer comprising 1 to 10 wt % diene, 5 to 40 wt % α-olefin, and 15 to 85 wt % propylene, said wt % based on the weight of the PEDM terpolymer; and from 80 to 95 phr of an ethylene-based copolymer comprising ethylene, one or more C3 to C12 α-olefins, and, optionally, one or more dienes; wherein the amount of ethylene content of the ethylene-based copolymer (in wt % on the basis of total weight of the ethylene-based copolymer) is greater than the amount of α-olefin content of the PEDM terpolymer (in wt % on the basis of total weight of the PEDM terpolymer).

    Abstract: Processes are provided which include copolymerization using two different metallocene catalysts, one capable of producing high Mooney-viscosity polymers and one suitable for producing lower Mooney-viscosity polymers having at least a portion of vinyl terminations. The two catalysts may be used together in polymerization to produce copolymer compositions of particularly well-tuned properties. For instance, polymerizations are contemplated to produce high-Mooney metallocene polymers that exhibit excellent processability and elasticity, notwithstanding their high Mooney viscosity. Other polymerizations are also contemplated in which lower-Mooney metallocene polymers are produced, which also exhibit excellent processability and elasticity, while furthermore having excellent cure properties suitable in curable elastomer compound applications. Many of the contemplated polymerizations include controlling the ratio of the two metallocene catalysts used in the polymerization so as to obtain the desired Mooney viscosity and desired rheology (indicated by Mooney Relaxation Area) of the copolymer compositions.
