    Abstract: Ethylene-based polymers comprise reaction products of polymerizing ethylene monomer, at least one diene or polyene comonomer, and optionally at least one C3 to C14 comonomer under defined polymerization reaction conditions, the ethylene-based polymer having: an Mw/Mw0 greater than 1.20. The Mw0 is the initial weight-average molecular weight of a comparative ethylene-based polymer by gel permeation chromatography. The comparative ethylene-based polymer being a reaction product of polymerizing ethylene monomer and all C3 to C14 comonomers present in the ethylene-based polymer, if any, without the at least one polyene comonomer, under the defined polymerization reaction conditions; and a molecular weight tail quantified by an MWD area metric, ATAIL, and ATAIL is less than or equal to 0.04 as determined by gel permeation chromatography using a triple detector.

    Abstract: Processes of synthesizing long-chain branched polymers. The processes include contacting together one or more C2-C14 alkene monomers, at least one diene, optionally a solvent, and a multi-chain catalyst optionally in the presence of hydrogen, wherein the multi-chain catalyst comprises a plurality of polymerization sites; producing at least two polymer chains of the C2-C14 alkene monomers, each polymer chain polymerizing at one of the polymerization sites; synthesizing the long-chain branched polymers by connecting the two polymer chains with the diene, the joining of the two polymer chains being performed in a concerted manner during the polymerization; and producing tri-functional long chain branches and tetra-functional long chain branches from the diene, wherein the long-chain branched polymers have a ratio of tri-functional to tetra-functional long chain branches from 0.05:1 to 100:0; and adjusting the ratio of tri-functional and tetra-functional long chain branches. The diene has a structure according to formula (I):

    Abstract: The present process embodiments for synthesizing long-chain branched copolymers include contacting together one or more C2-C14 alkene monomers, at least one diene or polyene, optionally a solvent, and a multi-chain catalyst. The multi-chain catalyst includes a plurality of polymerization sites and produces at least two polymer chains of the C2-C14 alkene monomers, each polymer chain polymerizing at one of the polymerization sites. The process synthesizes the long-chain branched polymers by connecting the two polymer chains with the diene or polyene, the joining of the two polymer chains being performed in a concerted manner during the polymerization.
