Abstract
New heterophasic copolymers with high rubber content have been synthes ized by combining heterogeneous Ti-based catalysts with metallocenes. The molecular, morphological and mechanical features of these material s were evaluated: it was pointed out that the new copolymers, having m ore than 60Wt.% of rubber, perform as reinforced elastomers whereas tr aditional ones show a more plastomeric behaviour. This suggests that n ew polyolefin materials can augment rather than compete with the tradi tional ones.
