Abstract
Abstract A TWO-STAGE METHOD OF GRAFTING ON EPM OR EPDM RUBBER TO MAKE A TOUGH, IMPACT-RESISTANT GUM PLASTIC: (I) A PORTION ONLY OF RESIN FORMING MONOMER (E.G., STYRENE, ACRYLONITRILE) IS FIRST "PREGRAFTED" IN SOLUTION ON THE EPM OR EPDM RUBBER SPINE; (II) THE REMAINING AMOUNT OF RESIN-FORMING MONOMER IS COMBINED WITH THE LIGHTLY GRAFTED RUBBER, AND SUBJECTED TO FURTHER GRAFT POLYMERIZATION TO PRODUCE THE FINAL GUM PLASTIC. NEW GRAFT COPOLYMERS OF RESIN-FORMING MONOMERS ON ETHYLENE/PROPYLENE/5-ETHYLIDENE - 2 - NORBORNENE TERPOLYMER RUBBER ARE ALSO DISCLOSED.
