摘要:
Thermoplastic vulcanizates comprise at least an ethylene/α-olefin interpolymer and at least one thermoplastic polymer, such as polyolefin. The ethylene/α-olefin interpolymer is a block copolymer having at least a hard block and at least a soft block. The soft block comprises a higher amount of comonomers than the hard block. The block interpolymer has a number of unique characteristics disclosed here. The block interpolymer is either used as a compatibilizer between a vulcanizable elastomer and a thermoplastic polymer or as a vulcanizable elastomer when it is in the EPDM form. The thermoplastic vulcanizates can be profiled extruded to make profiles and gaskets.

A lubricant composition comprises a base oil and a viscosity modifier including an ethylene/α-olefin interpolymer. The ethylene/α-olefin interpolymer is a block copolymer having at least a hard block and at least a soft block. The soft block comprises a higher amount of comonomers than the hard block. The block copolymer has a number of unique characteristics disclosed here. Such block copolymers offer the possibility of improved low temperature performance and flexibility in formulating motor oil, gear lubricants and greases, etc.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are polymer blends comprising at least one ethylene/α-olefin interpolymer and two different poly-olefins which can be homopolymers. The ethylene/α-olefin interpolymers are block copolymers comprising at least a hard block and at least a soft block. In some embodiments, the ethylene/α-olefin interpolymer can function as a compatibilizer between the two polyolefins which may not be otherwise compatible. Methods of making the polymer blends and molded articles made from the polymer blends are also described.
摘要:
A lubricant composition comprises an ethylene/α-olefin interpolymer having a number average molecular weight of less than 10,000 g/mol as a base oil and at least one oil additive. The ethylene/α-olefin interpolymer has at least one molecular fraction which elutes between 40° C. and 130° C. when fractionated using TREF, characterized in that the fraction has a molar comonomer content of at least 5 percent higher than that of a comparable random ethylene interpolymer fraction eluting between the same temperatures, wherein said comparable random ethylene interpolymer has the same comonomer(s) and has a melt index, density, and molar comonomer content (based on the whole polymer) within 10 percent of that of the ethylene/α-olefin interpolymer.

摘要:
Embodiments of the invention provide a class of mesophase separated butene/α-olefin block interpolymers with controlled block sequences. The butene/α-olefin interpolymers are characterized by an average block index, ABI, which is greater than zero and up to about 1.0 and a molecular weight distribution, Mw/Mn, greater than about 1.4. Preferably, the block index is from about 0.2 to about 1. In addition or alternatively, the block butene/α-olefin interpolymer is characterized by having at least one fraction obtained by Temperature Rising Elution Fractionation (TREF'), wherein the fraction has a block index greater than about 0.3 and up to about 1.0 and the butene/α-olefin interpolymer has a molecular weight distribution, Mw/Mn, greater than about 1.4.
