要件(i)は、本発明のエチレン・α-オレフィン・非共役ポリエン共重合体中のエチレン/α-オレフィンのモル比が40/60~99.9/0.1を満たすことを特定するものであり、このモル比は好ましくは50/50~90/10、より好ましくは55/45~85/15、さらに好ましくは55/45~78/22である。このような本発明のエチレン・α-オレフィン・非共役ポリエン共重合体は、架橋成形体の原料として用いた場合に、得られる架橋成形体が優れたゴム弾性を示し、機械的強度ならびに柔軟性に優れたものとなるため好ましい。
要件(ii)は、本発明のエチレン・α-オレフィン・非共役ポリエン共重合体中において、非共役ポリエン(C)に由来する構成単位の重量分率が、エチレン・α-オレフィン・非共役ポリエン共重合体100重量%中(すなわち全構成単位の重量分率の合計100重量%中)、0.07重量%~10重量%の範囲であることを特定するものである。この非共役ポリエン(C)に由来する構成単位の重量分率は、好ましくは0.1重量%~8.0重量%、より好ましくは0.5重量%~5.0重量%である。
要件(iii)は、本発明のエチレン・α-オレフィン・非共役ポリエン共重合体において、エチレン・α-オレフィン・非共役ポリエン共重合体の重量平均分子量(Mw)と、共重合体中における非共役ポリエン(C)に由来する構成単位の重量分率((C)の重量分率:重量%)と、非共役ポリエン(C)の分子量((C)の分子量)とが、次の関係式(1)を満たすことを特定するものである。
本発明のエチレン・α-オレフィン・非共役ポリエン共重合体が、要件(iii)を満たす場合、VNBなどの非共役ポリエン(C)に由来する構造単位の含有量が適切であって、十分な架橋性能を示すとともに、本発明のエチレン・α-オレフィン・非共役ポリエン共重合体を用いて架橋成形体を製造した場合には、架橋速度に優れ、架橋後の成形体が優れた機械特性を示すものとなるため好ましい。
なお、エチレン・α-オレフィン・非共役ポリエン共重合体の重量平均分子量(Mw)は、ゲルパーミエイションクロマトグラフィー(GPC)で測定されるポリスチレン換算の数値として求めることができる。
要件(iv)は、本発明のエチレン・α-オレフィン・非共役ポリエン共重合体の、レオメーターを用いて線形粘弾性測定(190℃)により得られた、周波数ω=0.1rad/sでの複素粘度η*(ω=0.1)(Pa・sec)と、周波数ω=100rad/sでの複素粘度η*(ω=100)(Pa・sec)との比P(η*(ω=0.1)/η*(ω=100))と、極限粘度[η]と、前記非共役ポリエン(C)に由来する構成単位の重量分率((C)の重量分率:重量%)とが、下記式(2)を満たすことを特定するものである。
ここで、周波数ω=0.1rad/sでの複素粘度η*(ω=0.1)と、周波数ω=100rad/sでの複素粘度η*(ω=100)との比P(η*(ω=0.1)/η*(ω=100))は、粘度の周波数依存性を表すものであって、式(2)の左辺にあたるP/([η]2.9)は、短鎖分岐や分子量などの影響はあるものの、長鎖分岐が多い場合に高い値を示す傾向がある。一般に、エチレン・α-オレフィン・非共役ポリエン共重合体では、非共役ポリエンに由来する構成単位を多く含むほど、長鎖分岐を多く含む傾向があるが、本発明のエチレン・α-オレフィン・非共役ポリエン共重合体は、従来公知のエチレン・α-オレフィン・非共役ポリエン共重合体よりも長鎖分岐が少ないことにより上記式(2)を満たすことができると考えられる。本発明において、P値は、粘弾性測定装置Ares(Rheometric Scientific社製)を用いて、190℃、歪み1.0%、周波数を変えた条件で測定を行って求めた、0.1rad/sでの複素粘度と100rad/sでの複素粘度とから、比(η*比)を求めたものである。
なお、極限粘度[η]は、135℃のデカリン中で測定される値を意味する。
要件(v)は、本発明のエチレン・α-オレフィン・非共役ポリエン共重合体の、ゲルパーミエイションクロマトグラフィー(GPC)により測定される重量平均分子量(Mw)と数平均分子量(Mn)との割合(分子量分布;Mw/Mn)が8~30の範囲にあることを特定するものである。この分子量分布(Mw/Mn)は、好ましくは9~28、より好ましくは10~26の範囲である。
要件(vi)は、本発明のエチレン・α-オレフィン・非共役ポリエン共重合体の前記数平均分子量(Mn)が30,000以下であることを特定するものである。前記数平均分子量(Mn)は、好ましくは3,000~26,000、より好ましくは6,000~23,000の範囲である。
要件(vii)は、本発明のエチレン・α-オレフィン・非共役ポリエン共重合体のGPC測定によって得られるチャートが2つ以上のピークを示し、最も分子量が小さい側に現れるピークの面積が、全体のピーク面積の20%以下であることを特定するものである。全体のピーク面積に対して、前記の最も分子量が小さい側に現れるピークの面積は、好ましくは2~18%、より好ましくは3~16%である。
上記式(3)により、エチレン・α-オレフィン・非共役ポリエン共重合体の単位炭素数当たりの長鎖分岐含量の上限値が特定される。
ここで、Mwと1000炭素原子あたりの長鎖分岐数(LCB1000C)は、3D-GPCを用いて構造解析法により求めることができる。本明細書においては、具体的には、次のようにして求めた。

エチレン・α-オレフィン・非共役ポリエン共重合体の重量平均分子量(Mw)と、非共役ポリエン(C)に由来する構成単位の重量分率((C)の重量分率(重量%))と、共役ポリエン(D)に由来する構成単位の重量分率((D)の重量分率(重量%))と、非共役ポリエン(C)の分子量((C)の分子量)と、共役ポリエン(D)の分子量((D)の分子量)とが、下記式(4)を満たす。
式(4)では、共重合体1分子中の非共役ジエン((C)と(D)の合計)の含量を特定している。
本発明のエチレン・α-オレフィン・非共役ポリエン共重合体は、特に限定されるものではないが、レオメーターを用いて線形粘弾性測定(190℃)により得られた、周波数ω=0.01rad/sでの複素粘度η*(ω=0.01)(Pa・sec)と、周波数ω=10rad/sでの複素粘度η*(ω=10)(Pa・sec)と、非共役ポリエン(C)に由来する見かけのヨウ素価とが、下記式(5)を満たすことが好ましい。
ここで、複素粘度η*(ω=0.01)および複素粘度η*(ω=10)は、要件(iv)における複素粘度η*(ω=0.1)および複素粘度η*(ω=100)と測定周波数以外は同様にして求められる。
上記式(5)において、左辺は長鎖分岐量の指標となる剪断速度依存性を表し、右辺は重合時に長鎖分岐として消費されていない非共役ポリエン(C)の含有量の指標を表す。要件(ix)を満たし、上記式(5)を満たす場合には、長鎖分岐の程度が高すぎないため好ましい。一方上記式(5)を満たさない場合には、共重合した非共役ポリエン(C)のうち、長鎖分岐の形成に消費された割合が多いこと分かる。
本発明のエチレン・α-オレフィン・非共役ポリエン共重合体は、重量平均分子量(Mw)あたりの、非共役ポリエン(C)に由来する構成単位の数(nC)が、好ましくは6個以上、より好ましくは6個以上40個以下、さらに好ましくは7個以上39個以下、特に好ましくは10個以上38個以下である。

本発明のエチレン・α-オレフィン・非共役ポリエン共重合体は、エチレン(A)と、炭素原子数3~20のα-オレフィン(B)と、前記非共役ポリエン(C)と、必要に応じて前記非共役ポリエン(D)とからなるモノマーを共重合してなる共重合体である。
