Abstract:
A process for producing a polymer of at least one alpha-olefin and at least one dialkenyl-tricyclic-nonaromatic compound, wherein the polymer is soluble in trichlorobenzene at 70Â° C. comprising contacting monomers consisting essentially of at least one alpha-olefin having 2 to 20 carbon atoms and at least one dialkenyl-tricyclic-nonaromatic compound of the formula under polymerization conditions in the presence of a catalyst composition consisting essentially of the product resulting from the combination of at least one aluminoxane and at least one titanium complex which is a metallocene having only one cyclodienyl group pi-bonded to the titanium wherein no substituents of the cyclodienyl group are bonded to the titanium.
