Disclosed are random copolymers derived from ethylene and at least two different alkyl acrylate comonomers, with or without an acid cure site-containing comonomer. In particular, disclosed are copolymers derived from copolymerization of (a) from 10 to 50 weight % of ethylene; (b) from 5 to 55 weight % of a first alkyl acrylate; (b) from 15 to 80 weight % of a second alkyl acrylate; and (d) from 0 to 7 weight % of a monoalkyl ester of 1,4-butene-dioic acid. Such copolymers exhibit lower glass transition temperatures (Tg) relative to previous ethylene copolymers comprising a single alkyl acrylate comonomer and maintain the good heat and fluid resistance when employed to produce cured elastomeric compositions as well as the improved low temperature properties. This invention also provides compounded compositions comprising these copolymers, and cured compositions (i.e., vulcanizates) as well as rubber articles formed from these compounded compositions, such as hoses, dampers, seals, gaskets, constant velocity joint (CVJ) boots and shaft boots.
公开了由乙烯和至少两种不同的丙烯酸烷基共聚单体衍生的无规共聚物,无论是否含有酸固化位点共聚单体。特别公开的是由以下物质共聚而成的共聚物:(a) 10 至 50 重量百分比的乙烯;(b) 5 至 55 重量百分比的第一丙烯酸烷基酯;(b) 15 至 80 重量百分比的第二丙烯酸烷基酯;以及 (d) 0 至 7 重量百分比的 1,4-丁烯二酸单烷基酯。这种共聚物的玻璃化转变温度(Tg)比以前由单一丙烯酸烷基共聚物组成的乙烯共聚物低,在用于生产固化弹性体组合物时,能保持良好的耐热性和耐流体性,并具有更好的低温性能。本发明还提供了由这些共聚物组成的复合组合物、固化组合物(即硫化胶)以及由这些复合组合物形成的橡胶制品,如软管、阻尼器、密封件、垫圈、等速万向节(CVJ)靴和轴套。
