Abstract
Abstract A high molecular weight copolymer of a conjugated diolefin and vinyl chloride in which the vinyl chloride content is from 5 mol up to 50 mol percent relative to the total monomers and the vinyl chloride unit is distributed at random in the molecule chain, and a manufacturing process for such copolymer by carrying out the copolymerization by adding a particular catalyst in the presence of at least the vinyl chloride monomer, in a halogenated hydrocarbon as solvent, at a temperature of -100* to 80*C so that the molar ratio of said catalyst to the total amount of the monomers as charged is 0.05 to 0.0001. The catalyst is any acidic Friedel-Crafts metal halide compound wherein the metal belongs to Group II to VIII of the Periodic Table or alkylaluminum halide compound of the general formula, A1 Rn X3 n wherein R represents an alkyl group, X represents a halogen atom and n represents 1 or 1.5.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
A PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING A RANDOM COPOLYMER OR A CONJUGATED DIOLEFIN AND VINYL CHLORIDE, HAVING VINYL CHLORIDE CONTENT OF 5 TO 50 MOL PERCENT WHICH COMPRISES CARRYING OUT THE COPOLYMERIZATION IN THE PRESENCE OF A HALOGENATED HYDROCARBON AS SOLVENT, AT A TEMPERATURE OF -100* TO 80*C, THE MOLAR RATIO OF SAI CONJUGATED DIOLEFIN TO VINYL CHLORIDE BEING 98/2 TO 2/98, USING AN UNMODIFIED CATALYST, IN THE PRESENCE OF AT LEAST THE VINYL CHLORIDE MONOMER, SAID CATALYST BEING SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ACIDIC FRIEDEL-CRAFTS METAL HALIDE COMPOUNDS WHEREIN THE METAL IS OF GROUPS II TO VIII OF THE PERIODIC TABLE AND ALKYLALUMINUM HALIDE COMPOUNDS OF THE FORMULA, ALRN X3-N WHEREIN R REPRESENTS AN ALKYL GROUP, X REPRESENTS A HALOGEN ATOM AND N REPRESENTS 1 OR 1.5 SO THAT THE MOLAR RATIO OF SAID CATALYST TO THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE MONOMERS AS CHARGED IN 0.05 TO 0.0001.
