JIS K 7121-1987に準拠して示差走査熱量測定(DSC)を行い、DSC曲線を描いた。なお、測定は、単体ポリマーや触媒残渣等の不純物の影響を避けるため、共重合体A、B、Dについては大量のテトラヒドロフランに48h浸漬し、テトラヒドロフランに溶解する成分を全て取り除いた後、乾燥したゴム成分をサンプルとして使用した。共重合体Cについては処理せず測定した。
以上より、共重合体A、Dは、高シスの1,3-ブタジエン及びエチレンのブロック共重合体であることが分かる。
また共重合体A、Dについて、文献(「高分子学会予稿集Vol.42, No.4,Page1347」)のオゾン分解-GPC法を応用して、連鎖分布の解析を行った。なお、ゲルパーミエーションクロマトグラフィーは[GPC:東ソー製HLC-8121GPC/HT、カラム:昭和電工製GPC HT-803×2本、検出器:示差屈折率計(RI)、単分散ポリスチレンを基準、測定温度は140℃]を用いて測定した。その結果、全エチレン成分に対しブロックエチレン成分、即ち、数平均分子量(Mn)が1000以上のポリエチレン成分が80質量%以上であり、共重合体Aがブロック共重合体であることを確認した。
共重合体Bは、図3のDSC曲線では、DSCにより-10℃付近に1,3-ブタジエンの単量体シス単位からなるブロック部分に由来する結晶化温度のみが観測され、エチレンの単量体単位からなるブロック部分に由来する結晶化温度が観測できない。またオゾン分解-GPC法を応用して、連鎖分布の解析の結果、全エチレン成分に対しブロックエチレン成分、即ち、数平均分子量(Mn)が1000以上のポリエチレン成分が10質量%以下であり、共重合体Bがランダム共重合体であることを確認した。共重合体Cは、図4のDSC曲線では、エチレンの単量体単位からなる長鎖のブロック部分の結晶化温度に由来する120℃以上の吸熱ピークのほかに、ブタジエン及びエチレンの単量体単位(低分子量のブロック含む)が不規則に配列してなるランダム部分が形成されていることを示す40℃~120℃にブロードな吸熱ピークが観測された。オゾン分解-GPC法を応用して、連鎖分布の解析の結果、全エチレン成分に対しブロックエチレン成分、即ち、数平均分子量(Mn)が1000以上のポリエチレン成分が67質量%であり共重合体Cは1,3-ブタジエン及びエチレンのテーパー共重合体であることが分かった。

動的スペクトロメーターを使用し、引張動歪3%、周波数15Hz、50℃の条件で測定した。表3においては、比較例1の逆数を100とする指数で表示した。指数値が大きい程、低発熱性(低ロス性)に優れることを示す。

JIS K 6259に従って、耐オゾン性(耐候性)を測定した。短冊状試験片を30%の動的伸張を与えながら、40℃、オゾン濃度50pphm条件で暴露し、12時間後の試料の状況(亀裂の有無)を目視で判断した。結果を表3に示す。
