Polyolefin Elastomers

Abstract

Abstract The new processes of anionic co-ordinated polymerization have permitted the synthesis of new polymers which are of interest as plastics, fibers, and elastomers. Among these last, the ethylene-propylene rubbers are particularly interesting for the future of the rubber industry. In fact these elastomers are prepared from low-cost raw materials (ethylene and propylene) and show good mechanical and elastic properties as well as excellent resistance to aging.
