摘要:
Polymers, and systems and methods for making and using the same are described herein. A polymer includes ethylene and at least one alpha olefin having from 4 to 20 carbon atoms. The polymer has a melt index ratio (MIR) greater than about 40. The polymer also has a value for Mw1/Mw2 of at least about 2.0, wherein Mw1/Mw2 is a ratio of a weight average molecular weight (Mw) for a first half of a temperature rising elution (TREF) curve from a cross-fractionation (CFC) analysis to an Mw for a second half of the TREF curve. The polymer also has a value for Tw1−Tw2 of less than about −15° C., wherein Tw1−Tw2 is a difference of a weight average elution temperature (Tw) for the first half of the TREF curve to a Tw for the second half of the TREF curve.
摘要:
The melt strength and the melt index ratio of ethylene-based polyolefins are controlled by the lower alkyl substitution pattern of the bridged cyclopentadienyl ligands of metallocene polymerization catalyst precursor compounds.
摘要:
Catalyst compositions, systems and methods, useful in polymerization processes, are disclosed, which utilize bridged metallocene catalysts, preferably including indenyl groups, bound to the transition metal and a vinyl group bound to the bridge.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a mixed catalyst system of at least one bridged, bulky ligand metallocene-type compound, and at least one bridged, asymmetrically substituted, bulky ligand metallocene-type compound, a method of making the mixed catalyst system and to their use in a polymerization process to produce polymers having an unexpected improvement in processability.
