    In major industrial polymers: Ethylene-propylene copolymers

    …the latter as EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene monomer). The copolymers contain approximately 60 percent by weight ethylene. A pronounced advantage of EPDM is that the residual carbon-carbon double bond (i.e., the double bond that remains after polymerization) is attached to the polymer chain rather than being made part of it. Carbon-carbon…

    …mixture of approximately 60 parts ethylene-propylene-diene monomer copolymer (EPDM) with 40 parts polypropylene. A hydrocarbon oil, compatible with EPDM, and interlinking reagents for EPDM are also added. Because the polymers are molecularly incompatible, they form a fine, heterogeneous blend, the individual materials remaining as small, separate regions. During mixing, the…
