Abstract

Abstract A sulfur-curable olefinic copolymer consisting essentially of 1. AT LEAST ONE 2-NORBORNENE COMPOUND HAVING AT THE FIFTH POSITION OF THE NORBORNENE NUCLEUS A HYDROCARBON GROUP CONTAINING AT LEAST 3 TO 200 ACYCLIC AND NON-CONJUGATED CARBONCARBON DOUBLE BONDS, AND 2. AT LEAST ONE MEMBER SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ETHYLENE AND Alpha -OLEFIN HAVING THREE TO 20 CARBON ATOMS. This sulfur-curable olefinic copolymer has excellent cocurability with a diene rubber and produced by contacting said 2norbornene component and ethylene and/or said Alpha olefin with a catalyst consisting essentially of an organoaluminum compound and a member selected from the group consisting of a vanadium compound having at least trivalencies and a titanium compound having at least trivalencies.
