Abstract
A copolymer of ethylene and of a 1,3-diene of formula CH2═CR—CH═CH2 is provided. The ethylene units represent between 50 mol % and 95 mol % of the ethylene units and of the units of the 1,3-diene, and the units of the 1,3-diene of 1,2 and 3,4 configuration represent more than 50 mol % of the units of the 1,3-diene. The symbol R represents a hydrocarbon chain having from 3 to 20 carbon atoms. Such a copolymer exhibits an improved compromise between the degree of crystallinity and the stiffness and makes it possible to widen the field of application of ethylene-rich diene copolymers in rubber compositions.
