Definitions
- the invention relates to olefin-acrylic copolymers. More particularly, the invention relates to preparation of olefin-acrylic copolymers with late transition metal catalysts.
- EMA ethylene-ethyl acrylate
- EBA ethylene-butyl acrylate
- EAA ethylene-acrylic acid
- olefin polymerization catalysts that incorporate late transition metals (especially iron, nickel, or cobalt) and bulky ⁇ -diimine ligands (or "bis(imines)" have been investigated. These late transition metal catalysts are of interest because, unlike the early transition metal metallocenes or Ziegler catalysts, the late transition metal catalysts can tolerate and incorporate polar comonomers into polyolefins. See U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,866,663 and 5,955,555.
- late transition metal catalysts Compared to the conventional free radical polymerization, late transition metal catalysts have great ability in tailoring of critical polymer properties: molecular weight, crystallinity or melting point, and polydispersity. Therefore, the late transition metal catalysts may provide better product quality and production consistency. Also, the late transition metal catalysts do not require high temperature and high pressure polymerization. They avoid the use of explosive peroxides.

- the ethylene consumption is about 0.73 gram (0.026 mole).
- unreacted acrylate is removed by vacuum, yielding 1.8 grams of polymer.
