Abstract
Abstract Substantially gel-free, high unsaturation copolymers of isoolefin and diolefin and high unsaturation terpolymers of isoolefin, acyclic diene and cyclic diene having a number average molecular weight of at least about 90,000 and a mole percent of unsaturation of at least 5% and the process for preparing said polymers which comprises carrying out the polymerization in a homogeneous phase, introducing to the system either an aluminum halide in a soluble form or a hydrocarbylaluminum dihalide and carrying the reaction out at a temperature of less than about -100° C.
