Definitions
- This invention relates to random ethylene/alpha ( ⁇ ) -olefin/polyene (EAODM) interpolymers containing at least 84 weight percent (wt%) ethylene and the use of such interpolymers in combination with other polyolefins, rubbers, and thermoplastic formulations .
- This invention also relates to crosslinked or cured EAODM interpolymers and the use of such crosslinked interpolymers to produce fabricated articles including, but not limited to, wire and cable products, foams, automotive components, tubing, tapes, laminates, coatings and films.
- This invention further relates to blends of the polymers of this invention with both natural and synthetic polymers, especially to thermoplastic polyolefins (TPO) .
- TPO thermoplastic polyolefins
- This invention additionally relates to EAODM polymers that are grafted with other monomers, such as unsaturated carboxylic acid monomers, and the use of such grafted interpolymers as, for example, impact modifiers, compatibilizers and adhesion promoters.
- Polyolefins are used in numerous applications including, but not limited to, wire and cable insulation, automotive interior skins, impact modification of other polyolefins, foams, and films. Many of these applications demand ever-increasing improvements in heat resistance.
- One method to improve polyolefin heat resistance involves crosslinking or curing the polyolefin using either a source of radiation such as electron beam (EB) radiation, gamma radiation or ultraviolet (UV) radiation, or a heat- activated chemical crosslinking agent such as a peroxide.
- EB electron beam
- UV ultraviolet
- the heat-activated chemical crosslinking agent may be sulfur, a phenolate, or a silicon hydride.
- Manufacturers of cured elastomeric parts engage in an ongoing search for polyolefins with improved curing characteristics that provide one or more additional benefits such as faster productivity to reduce manufacturing costs .
- PE polyethylene
- an increase in crosslink density typically requires using more peroxide or an increased level of radiation exposure, both of which increase cost.
- Those who work with PE desire an effective, but more economical approach.
- the interpolymers of this invention have unsaturated sites that permit grafting of polar materials onto the interpolymer backbone.
- Skilled artisans recognize that nonpolar polyolefins, particularly PE, provide poor substrates for application of polar coating materials such as paint.
- PE surfaces are usually treated to improve compatibility using techniques such as flame surface treatment and corona discharge.
- An alternate technique changes the polymer itself and involves grafting polar materials onto the polymer backbone .
- One aspect of the present invention is an interpolymer composition
- a random EAODM interpolymer that comprises (a) ethylene in an amount of from 84 to 99 weight percent (wt%) , (b) an ⁇ -olefin containing from 3 to 20 carbon atoms (C 3.20 ) in an amount within a range of from greater than (>) 0 to less than ( ⁇ ) 16 wt%, and (c) a polyene in an amount of from > 0 to 15 wt%, all percentages being based upon interpolymer weight and selected to total 100 weight percent, the interpolymer having a crystallinity > 16 percent and a glass transition temperature (T B ) of -45° centigrade (°C) or greater.
- T B glass transition temperature
- a Tg of -40°C is > a Tg of -45°C.
- an EAODM having 85 wt% ethylene, 10 wt% propylene, and 5 wt% diene has a 91.5 mol% ethylene content.
- the resulting interpolymers may, if desired, be crosslinked chemically using agents such as peroxides, sulfur, phenolates and silicon hydrides or by radiation using any of EB, gamma and UV radiation.
- interpolymer refers to a polymer having polymerized therein at least three monomers. It includes, without limitation, terpolymers and tetrapolymers . A "copolymer” has polymerized therein two monomers .
- the ethylene interpolymers of this invention When crosslinked, the ethylene interpolymers of this invention exhibit improved mechanical strength, heat resistance, and cure properties relative to crosslinked ethylene interpolymers prepared from the same monomers but with a lower ethylene content.
- polyolefins with unsaturation have greater crosslinking efficiency than those that lack unsaturation. Improved crosslink efficiency generally translates into faster cure, increased mechanical strength, and, for an end use manufacturer, increased productivity.
- the EAODMs of the present invention when blended with polyolefins, provide a means to increase polyolefin crosslink density without resorting to conventional techniques such as using more peroxide or increasing radiation exposure .
- Polymer crystallinity has an impact on physical properties such as tensile strength, green strength, and flex modulus. Reductions in polymer crystallinity typically lead to a corresponding reduction in tensile strength, green strength, and flex modulus.
- Commercially available polyolefins such as high density polyethylene (HDPE) , typically have a crystallinity within a range of 45% to 95%.

The peroxide can also be fed into a processing apparatus at a point where the polymer blend or composition is in a melt state. Concentrations of peroxide in a solution or dispersion may vary over a wide range, but a 20 to 40 wt% concentration, based on solution or dispersion weight, provides acceptable results. The solution or dispersion can also be admixed with, and allowed to imbibe on, dry and dry blended polymer pellets.

- the actual irradiation dose required depends upon several variables including the source and intensity of the irradiation, the polymer being crosslinked, the thickness of the material or article, and environmental and other factors .
- the preferred source of irradiation is a high energy beam from an electron accelerator. High energy beams give an adequate curing dosage and rates of processing as high as 1200 meters per minute.
- Various types of high power electron linear accelerators are commercially available. Since the radiation levels required to accomplish crosslinking in EAODMs of the present invention are relatively low, small power units, such as the Electrocurtain® Processor from Energy Sciences, Inc., Wilmington, Mass., provide sufficient radiation. As noted above, other sources of high energy radiation, such as gamma rays may also be used.

- the specimen elongates up to 600% and then bottoms out in the oven.
- "Failed" means that the sample in question bottomed out in the oven.
- the specimen displays less elongation and provides a measurable percentage elongation.
- Hot creep measurements provide an indication of the degree of crosslinking as hot creep and degree of crosslinking are inversely related. In other words , a decrease in hot creep value equates to an increase in the degree of crosslinking.
- the insoluble gel fraction (gel content) was measured as described in ASTM D 2765 using hot xylene as the solvent.
- Ex. 4 relative to Ex. 2 should provide a greater concentration of ENB in its amorphous regions. This may, in turn, yield a higher potential for crosslinking. As noted above, an increase in crosslinking leads to a reduction in elongation in hot creep testing. In view of a relatively lower crosslinking potential, one means of improving the hot creep test results of the Ex. 2 interpolymer involves increasing the radiation dosage from 2 Mrad to a level of > 4 Mrad.
- the modified procedure employed the following cycle: heat at 130°C for two minutes while applying a pressure or force of 18,200 kg; water cool to ambient temperature (about 25°C) over a period of three minutes while maintaining the 18,200 kg pressure; and release the pressure.
