A terpolymer of ethylene, of a first 1,3-diene having from 4 to 6 carbon atoms and of a second 1,3-diene of formula CH.sub.2═CR-CH═CH.sub.2 is provided. The terpolymer contains more than 50 mol % of ethylene units and at least 1 mol % of units of the second 1,3-diene, the symbol R representing a hydrocarbon chain having from 3 to 20 carbon atoms. Such a polymer gives an improved compromise between its ethylene content, its stiffness and its degree of crystallinity for use in tires.

The conjugated diene-based polymer has a Mooney viscosity measured at 100° C. of 40 or more and 170 or less, has Mooney stress relaxation measured at 100° C. of 0.35 or less, and has a branch number (Bn) measured by viscosity detector-equipped GPC-light scattering measurement of 8 or more.

Without significantly impacting monomer conversion, the cis-1,4 mer content of conjugated diene mer in polymers can be increased by adding one or more Lewis bases to a catalyst composition that includes a Group 3 metal atom-containing carboxylate. This effect can be seen even at above average monomer concentrations.

The present invention relates to a catalyst composition including an imidazolinium ion-based catalyst and an aluminum-based cocatalyst, and a method for preparing an isobutene-isoprene copolymer using the same.
