Abstract
Abstract Preparation of ethylene-higher Alpha -olefin-polyene (EPDM) polymers having grafted thereon vulcanization accelerators and polymer blends with highly unsaturated diene rubbers that are cured using sulfur are disclosed. The vulcanizates exhibit improved properties compared to polymer blends of EPDM and diene rubbers.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
69 words
A composition of claim 2 where in (2) the ethylene-higher Alpha -olefin-polyene polymer consists of about 15 percent to about 90 percent by weight of ethylene, about 10 percent to about 80 percent by weight of a higher Alpha -olefin containing three to about 14 carbon atoms, and from about 0.5 percent to about 20 percent by weight of a nonconjugated diene containing five to about 25 carbon atoms.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
