Abstract:
Disclosed herein are ethylene-based polymers produced using dual metallocene catalyst systems. These polymers have low densities, high molecular weights, and broad molecular weight distributions, as well as having the majority of the long chain branches in the lower molecular weight component of the polymer, and the majority of the short chain branches in the higher molecular weight component of the polymer. Films produced from these polymers have improved impact and puncture resistance.

Abstract:
The present invention provides polymerization catalyst compositions employing half-metallocene compounds with a heteroatom-containing ligand bound to the transition metal. Methods for making these hybrid metallocene compounds and for using such compounds in catalyst compositions for the polymerization of olefins also are provided.

A compound of formula Cp′Cr(Cl)2(Ln), where Cp′ is η5-C5H4CH2CH2CH═CH2 and Ln is pyridine, THF or diethylether. A compound of formula Cp″Cr(Cl)2(Ln), where Cp″ is η5-C5H4C(Me)2CH2CH2CH═CH2 and Ln is pyridine, THF or diethylether.
Abstract:
Methods for controlling properties of an olefin polymer using an organozinc compound are disclosed. The HLMI/MI shear ratio of the polymer can be decreased and the Mz/Mw ratio of the polymer can be increased via the addition of the organozinc compound.
