Abstract
The microstructure of the EPT series was studied by IR spectroscopy and dif ferential scanning calorimetry. It was shown that, as the content of ethyle ne units increases, the content of long methylene sequences and the amount of the copolymer structural defects due to the inverse attachment of propyl ene units increase as well. This results in improved physicomechanical prop erties of the EPT with high content of ethylene units. The method of therma l mechanical analysis was applied to study the dependence of the elastic pr operties of SKI-3/EPT binary blends on their composition.
