and an "-olefin (col. 1, lines 9-12), which is in the form of
a powder (col. 6, lines 8-9). The alkenylsilane can be one
which falls within formula 1 in appellants’ claim 1 (col. 2,
lines 50-62). The copolymer can be blended with a polyolefin
which contains no alkenylsilane (col. 4, lines 28-34). The
copolymer or blend can be molded into a sheet or film for use
in adhering two layers together (col. 5, lines 11-26), or can
be molded into a desired shape and coated with a material such
as a urethane or acrylic coating material (col. 2, lines 20-
23; col. 5, lines 31-36; col. 9, lines 37-48). Catalysts can
be added to the copolymer or blend to activate Si-H bonds to
improve the adhesive and coating properties of the molded
product (col. 4, lines 55-58). The disclosed catalysts
include palladium and platinum (col. 4, lines 58-62).
Topcik discloses a cured rubber composition made from a
blend which comprises a polyolefin and an ethylene-propylene-
diene rubber (col. 1, lines 40-50). The polyolefin can be
polyethylene, a hydrolyzable copolymer of ethylene and a
silane, or a hydrolyzable silane-modified polyethylene (col.
1, lines 42-45). The silane copolymer and silane-modified
polyethylene can be crosslinked by exposure to moisture, and
