  • Patent number: 11591422
    Abstract: A method can be used for manufacturing an ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer for a fuel cell. A polymerization step includes subjecting an organic chelate compound forming a coordinate bond, a vanadium-based Ziegler-Natta catalyst, an organoaluminum compound, and ethylene, propylene, and diene monomers, together with a solvent, to polymerization in a reactor. A separation step includes recovering residual catalysts and unreacted monomers from the stream discharged from the reactor. An acquisition step includes recovering the solvent from the stream deprived of the residual catalysts and unreacted monomers to acquire the ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer.

  • Patent number: 11220566
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing an ethylene-based elastic copolymer, and more particularly, to a method for preparing an ethylene-based elastic copolymer by using a catalyst composition for preparing an ethylene-based elastic copolymer, the catalyst composition comprising a binuclear constrained geometry transition metal compound, as a main catalyst, having a structural advantage to obtain a high-molecular-weight ethylene-based elastic copolymer due to a high polymerization activity and comonomer reactivity because the binuclear constrained geometry transition metal compound has a structure in which cyclopentadiene ligands of two constrained geometry catalysts are linked by 1,4-phenylene, and one or more cocatalyst compounds selected from the group consisting of an organoaluminum compound, an organoaluminoxane compound, and a boron compound.

  • Patent number: 7423086
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an ethylene-propylene-diene EPDM rubber composition with improved adhesion properties. The ethylene-propylene-diene rubber composition comprises an EPDM rubber, a crystalline polyolefin, and a polyolefin containing at least one carbonyl group (—C?O) within the structure as an adhesion improver. The ethylene-propylene-diene rubber composition improves adhesion to a polar polymeric material. Specifically, the EPDM rubber composition comprises 100 phr of an EPDM rubber, 5˜40 phr of a polyolefin containing at least one carbonyl group and 10˜30 phr of a crystalline polyolefin resin.

  • Patent number: 7119157
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of preparing an EP(D)M elastomer, which includes pre-cooling a reactive solvent to ?80 to ?100° C.; and polymerizing ethylene, at least one higher ?-olefin having 3 to 18 carbons, and selectively, at least one conjugated or non-conjugated diene having 5 to 15 carbons, in the presence of the reactive solvent. According to the method of the current invention, the yield of the EP(D)M elastomer is drastically increased even though a conventional preparation device is used unchanged. Further, methods of controlling the yield of the EP(D)M elastomer and of recovering the EP(D)M elastomer are provided.

  • Patent number: 6921792
    Abstract: Disclosed are a chemically modified polyolefin elastomer composition that is highly compatible with thermoplastics and useful in improving the low temperature impact strength of thermoplastics, and a method for preparing the chemically modified polyolefin elastomer composition. The elastomer composition includes a polyolefin resin and a chemically modified ethylene-?-olefin elastomer mixed with the polyolefin resin. The chemically modified ethylene-?-olefin elastomer includes an ethylene-?-olefin elastomer backbone and grafted branches from the backbone. The branches includes polymers of one or more monomers comprising an unsaturated organic compound containing at least one carbonyl group. The method of producing the composition includes mixing an ethylene-?-olefin elastomer and a polyolefin resin to provide a mixture thereof, to which added is one or more monomers having an unsaturated organic compound containing at least one carbonyl group.
