Summary
Two EPDM graft terpolymers, one with polystyrene branches and one with poly-α-methylstyrene, were prepared from a commercial EPDM polymer using “grafting from” techniques. The new materials were characterized by GPC, osmometry and nmr spectrometry; tensile strength properties were also determined.
