Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 182 words
Vulcanizates of sulfur-vulcanizable interpolymers having improved properties including tensile strength greater than 2000 psi, elongation at break in the range of 400 to 650%, and crosslink density was measured by swelling ratio value, Q of less than 4.0, said interpolymers being obtained by copolymerization of from 95 to 75 mole percent of at least one α-olefin containing from 4 to 12 carbon atoms and 5 to 25 mole percent of at least one α,ω-diene containing at least 8 carbon atoms in the presence of a coordination catalyst prepared from Components (A) an organoaluminum compound, (B) a transition metal compound selected from Group IVB of the Periodic Table, and (C) at least one compound of the general formula: Q=P(XY n ) 3 wherein Q is oxygen or sulfur, P is phosphorous, Y is a hydrocarbyl radical containing from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and X is oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen, and n is an integer having values of 1 or 2, with the proviso that when X is oxygen or sulfur, then n is 1 and when X is nitrogen, then is 2.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 182 words
Vulcanizates of sulfur-vulcanizable interpolymers having improved properties including tensile strength greater than 2000 psi, elongation at break in the range of 400 to 650%, and crosslink density was measured by swelling ratio value, Q of less than 4.0, said interpolymers being obtained by copolymerization of from 95 to 75 mole percent of at least one α-olefin containing from 4 to 12 carbon atoms and 5 to 25 mole percent of at least one α,ω-diene containing at least 8 carbon atoms in the presence of a coordination catalyst prepared from Components (A) an organoaluminum compound, (B) a transition metal compound selected from Group IVB of the Periodic Table, and (C) at least one compound of the general formula: Q=P(XY n ) 3 wherein Q is oxygen or sulfur, P is phosphorous, Y is a hydrocarbyl radical containing from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and X is oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen, and n is an integer having values of 1 or 2, with the proviso that when X is oxygen or sulfur, then n is 1 and when X is nitrogen, then is 2.
