  • Patent number: 3933769
    Abstract: A method of preparing sulfur vulcanizable unsaturated interpolymers of at least one terminally unsaturated monoolefin selected from the group consisting of 1-butene and .alpha.-olefins containing from five to 12 carbon atoms with at leeast one nonconjugated diolefin selected from the group of 4- and 5-methyl-1,4-hexadienes in which 5-methyl-1,4-hexadiene is at least 15 mole percent and in which the terminally unsaturated monoolefin comprises from about 98 to about 70 mole percent of the total.

  • Patent number: 3932373
    Abstract: These polymers are characterized as having a structure of polyalkenemers in which the double bonds are of the cis and trans vinyl type configuration and no double bonds are of the 1,2 type configuration. The polymers are further characterized by repeating units of--CH.sub.2 --CH=CH--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH=CH--CH.sub.2 --in which at least 75 percent of the vinyl double bonds are of the cis type configuration and none of the double bonds are of the 1,2-type configuration.
