Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for copolymerizing ethylene and .alpha.-olefin, or ethylene, .alpha.-olefin, and an unconjugated diene, in the presence of a catalyst in which at least one kind of transition metal compound, such as a V, Zr, or Hf compound, and an organic aluminum compound, are supported, and with the coexistence of a polysiloxane compound. By the process of the present invention fouling can be prevented when an ethylene-based copolymer is industrially prepared. Thus a continuous operation is made possible.
