Abstract Copolymerization of ethylene/propylene (EPM) and terpolymerization of ethylene/propylene/5-ethylidene-2-nor-bornene (ENB) were carried out using VCl4 based Ziegler-Natta catalyst. Triisobutylaluminum (TIBA) was used as a cocatalyst while CHCl3 and CCl4 were used as promoters. Effects of [Al]/[V] ratio, temperature, promoters and ENB concentration, relative pressure of P/E, H2 concentration and polymerization time on polymerization behavior were studied. The highest productivity of the catalyst was obtained at [Al]/[V] ratio of 8–10. Increasing the [Al]/[V] ratio increased Et% and Tg and decreased ENB% of the EPDM (ethylene / propylene / diene) obtained. Activity of the catalyst system was higher for EPM than EPDM. ENB concentration affected polymer yield. Increasing ENB from 5 ml/Lit solvent to 10 ml /Lit solvent increased productivity of the catalyst; however, higher concentration decreased the EPDM polymer yield. Addition of ENB increased Et% of the EPDM. Polymerization of EPDM was carried out at temperatures of 25 °C to 75 °C. The highest productivity was obtained at ∼ 50 °C. At reaction temperature of ∼ 55 °C, Et% and ENB% were 65.5% and 9%, respectively. Rp/time profiles were decay types for both EPM and EPDM production. Et% of EPDM increased with polymerization time, while an inverse result was obtained for ENB%. Addition of CHCl3 to 3 ml /lit solvent increased productivity of the catalyst. However, addition of CCl4 did not have such effect on the yield of the polymer obtained. Effect of relative pressure of P/E=1.25:1 to 0.89:1 on EPDM polymerization was studied. Addition of ethylene relative pressure increased Et% and increased Tg of the EPDM obtained. The lowest Tg of the EPDM obtained was −39 °C. A compound made with the EPDM showed good thermal stability.

A functional olefin comonomer containing furan group was designed and implemented in ethylene/propylene copolymerization catalyzed by a traditional Ziegler–Natta catalyst; thus, controllable design of EP rubber with thermoreversible cross-linking capability was realized in a facile way, making the recycle of synthetic rubber more feasible.

Abstract Until recently, ethylene/propylene/diene (EPDM) terpolymers have been manufactured exclusively using vanadium based Ziegler—Natta catalyst systems. The vanadium based catalysts are known to have both product and process limitations. These limitations are due to a complex combination of factors including monomer reactivity, catalyst activity, reactor temperatures and pressures. Single-site metallocene constrained geometry catalyst (CGC) technology enables the manufacture of EPDM terpolymers at higher reactor temperature and catalyst efficiency than standard Ziegler—Natta catalyst systems. The unique combination of monomer, catalyst and process technology enables the manufacture of highly crystalline EPDMs having ethylene contents over 90 wt %. This study investigated these new highly crystalline EPDM terpolymers and their differentiation from commercially available EPDMs. The results indicated that these new EPDMs had very high green strength and barrier properties, yet could be cured by conventional vulcanization techniques. The cure response of these EPDMs to either peroxide or sulfur increased with increasing ethylene content. Sulfur cured vulcanizates had much higher tensile strength than peroxide cured vulcanizates. These new EPDMs demonstrated utility as additives to enhance the abrasion, hot tear, and tensile properties of natural rubber compounds. Sponge compounds, having the unique combination of polyethylene physical properties and the utility of sulfur vulcanization were developed from these new polymers.
