Abstract:
Provided herein are polymerization processes and polymer compositions including reactor blends formed by such polymerization processes. The polymerization processes include copolymerization using two metallocene catalyst systems: the first catalyst system capable of producing polymers having 60% or more vinyl terminations, the second catalyst system capable of producing high molecular weight polymers, preferably incorporating at least some of the polymers produced by the first catalyst system into the high molecular weight polymers. The reactor blends formed thereby therefore include first and second copolymer components, which may differ in monomer content and weight-average molecular weight (Mw). Furthermore, the reactor blends may exhibit advantageous rheological properties, at least some of which are consistent with long-chain branching. Preferred reactor blends comprise ethylene-propylene-diene (EPDM) terpolymers.

Adhesives, methods to bond substrates together with the adhesives, and articles of manufacture comprising the adhesives are described. It has been discovered that an adhesive with a polymer content greater than 70 weight percent can be formulated with a blend of (i) a metallocene catalyzed polypropylene polymer that has a density range of about 0.70 to about 0.91 g/cm3 and a melt viscosity less than 50,000 cP at 190° C. and (ii) a Ziegler-Natta catalyzed amorphous polybutene and/or polypropylene copolymer. Such adhesives have high creep resistance making them particularly well suited for disposable personal care garments.
