Development of Thermoplastic Elastomers using Metallocene Technology

We feature of polymers obtained by metallocene catalysts and development of new elastomeric polyolefins are descrived here. Especially, ethylene-norbornene copolymer as ethylene based elastomer, and new elastomeric polypropylene as propylene based one are introduced previous report. That new polypropylene is prepared by specific control technology with metallocene catalysts. I assume that ethylene based elastomer will have been main material in elastomeric polyolefin market in the future. However, I think that new propylene based elastomer has high potential.
