Summary

The effect of Lewis acids on various ethylene-propylene co- and terpolymers has been investigated in the mixing chamber of a Brabender Plastograph at 180°C. Fast degradation of the polymers was observed upon the addition of Lewis acids. Terpolymers containing unsaturations undergo crosslinking: the structure of the third monomer (diene) determines the rate of crosslinking and the characteristics of the crosslinked materials.
