Abstract:
The present invention relates to a metal complexes of formula (1), which is:
CyLMZ p (1), comprising a substituted cyclopentadienyl ligand (Cy) and an amidinate ligand (L), Cy is a substituted cyclopentadienyl ligand that contains the substituents R1, R2 and 3 additional methyl groups, whereof two of the methyl groups, provided they are vicinal may optionally be exchanged by an anellated C 6 -C 10 aromatic ring, wherein R1 means H, halogen or a C3-C20 substituent R2 means a C1-C20 substituent L is represented by either formula (2) or (2b).
Further claims relate to a catalyst system containing said metal complex and a process for manufacturing polymers wherein said metal complex or catalyst system is used.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an A vulcanizable rubber composition comprising a) an oil extended copolymer composition consisting of i) 100 parts of at least one ethylene-±-olefin-non-conjugated-diene copolymer having - a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of at least 300,000 g/mol. - an intrinsic viscosity higher than 4, preferably higher than 4.2 measured in Xylene at 70 °C and - a polydispersity (Mw/Mn) smaller than 3, preferably smaller than 2.8, in particular smaller than 2.6; ii) 30 to 70 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the ethylene-±-olefin-non-conjugated-diene copolymer (i) of an extender oil and iii) up to 5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the ethylene-±-olefin-non-conjugated-diene copolymer (i) of auxiliary agents, whereby the oil extended copolymer composition has a phase angle ´ min of lower than 2.5, b) 1 to 15 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight based on the ethylene-±-olefin-non-conjugated-diene (i) of the oil extended copolymer composition a) of an unsaturated rubber designated as R rubbers according to DIN/ISO 1629, c) 30 to 100 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight based on the ethylene-±-olefin-non-conjugated-diene (i) of the oil extended copolymer composition a) of a filler, d) 0 to 30 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight based on the ethylene-±-olefin-non-conjugated-diene copolymer (i) of the composition a) of a process oil, provided that the total amount of extender oil from the composition a) and process oil does not exceed 80 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight based on the ethylene-±-olefin-non-conjugated-diene copolymer (i) of the composition a) and e) a vulcanizing agent.
