Abstract Random copolymers of all trans structure have been prepared from butadiene and 1,3-pentadiene, in the presence of vanadium compounds and alkyl aluminum halides composed catalyst systems. Copolymers of butadiene and pentadiene, in the composition range of 30-45 weight per cent of pentadiene, are amorphous at room temperature at rest but crystallize upon stretching. Cured tread stocks show improved technological properties with respect to other synthetic diene-based elastomers. Very good processing and extrusion behavior, high tack, tear strength, and abrasion resistance are outstanding properties of the BP copolymers in the field of general purpose rubbers.
