The present invention provides 1,4-cis polybutadiene having high linearity with an S/R value of 1 or greater at 100 C., and accordingly, is capable of reducing resistance properties, particularly rolling resistance, and greatly enhancing fuel efficiency properties when used in a rubber composition.

Alkylaluminoxane compositions are produced by a process that includes the steps of reacting trimethylaluminum, triethylaluminum, and water in a hydrocarbon solvent to form an alkylaluminoxane, and then removing insoluble aluminum-containing materials from the solvent to form the alkylaluminoxane composition containing from 0.1 to 20 wt. % of aluminum. Generally, the molar ratio of trimethylaluminum:triethylaluminum is from 5:95 to 80:20, and the molar ratio of water:aluminum is from 0.2:1 to 1:1. The alkylaluminoxane compositions can be utilized as an activator in transition metal-based catalyst systems and in ethylene oligomerization processes.
