Abstract:
An ethylene polymer which contains 0.01 to 1.20 % by mole of constituent units derived from an α-olefin having 6 to 10 carbon atoms and which exhibits in the cross fractionation chromatography (CFC) the following characteristic: (1) the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the components eluted in the temperature range of 73 to 76°C does not exceed 4,000 or (2) the relationship (Eq-1) is satisfied: Sx / Stotal
Abstract:
A polymer characterized by having a melt tension (MT (g)) substantially equal to or lower than that of a polymer which is substantially equal in repeating units of the backbone and in molecular weight, molecular-weight distribution, and crystallinity and by having a flow activation energy (Ea (KJ/mol)) higher by at least 5 KJ/mol than the Ea value of that polymer. A preferred example of the polymer is one which comprises 50 to 100 mol% repeating units derived from ethylene and 0 to 50 mol% repeating units derived from an a-olefin having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, satisfies a specific relationship between flow activation energy (Ea (KJ/mol)) and a-olefin content (C (wt.%)), and satisfies a specific relationship between melt tension (MT (g)) and melt flow rate (MFR (g/10 min)). This branched polyolefin is excellent in moldability and mechanical strength.

These molded products comprise an ethylene/ alpha -olefin copolymer (A) or an ethylene copolymer composition (A'). The ethylene/ alpha -olefin copolymer (A) is a copolymer of ethylene and an alpha -olefin of 6 to 8 carbon atoms and has the following properties: the melt tension and MFR satisfy a specific relation; the flow activation energy determined from a shift factor of time-temperature superposition of the flow curve, the carbon atom number of the alpha -olefin in the copolymer and the alpha -olefin content in the copolymer satisfy a specific relation; and the haze of a film having a thickness of 30 mu m produced by inflation molding of the copolymer satisfies a specific relation. The ethylene copolymer composition (A') has substantially the same components and components ratio as those of the copolymer (A), comprises (B) a copolymer of ethylene and an alpha -olefin of 6 to 8 carbon atoms and (C) a copolymer of ethylene and an alpha -olefin of 6 to 8 carbon atoms, and has a specific relation between MFR of the copolymer (C) and MFR of the copolymer (B).
