Metallic complexes having indenyl ligands can be used as an ingredient of a catalyst system. The catalyst system can be used in polymerizations of ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon monomers that include both olefins and polyenes. Embodiments of the catalyst system can provide interpolymers that include polyene mer and from 40 to 75 mole percent ethylene mer, with a plurality of the ethylene mer being randomly distributed. The catalyst system also can be used in solution polymerizations conducted in C.sub.5-C.sub.12 alkanes, yielding interpolymers that include at least 10 mole percent ethylene mer.

A door assembly. The door assembly may include at least one door panel and a door frame having a plurality of frame members including a header and a pair of side jambs. The invention may also be considered a frame member. The frame member may include a core; and a two-piece top piece adjoining the core to form a structural member. The core and the top piece may be a composite of cellulosic material and at least one other material. The door assembly may further include at least one adjacent panel. Also disclosed are door jamb frame members and mullion frame members.

The invention provides resin- and mineral oil-free pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions, comprising 55%-100% by weight of a copolymer of propylene and one or more further monomers selected from the group composed of ethylene and 1-olefins having 4 to 20 carbon atoms, wherein the copolymer has been prepared with the aid of metallocene catalysts and is characterized by a. a melt viscosity at 170° C. of 20 to 8000 mPas (DIN 53019); b. a density of 0.84 to 0.90 g/cm.sup.3 (23° C., ISO 1183); c. a glass transition temperature of less than −30° C. (DIN EN ISO 11357-2:2014); and d. a flow point, measured according to ASTM D97, of less than 50° C.,
which due to their permanently tacky properties are suitable as pressure-activated pressure-sensitive adhesives.
