A metallocene-catalyzed polymer comprising (i) a higher molecular weight component and (ii) a lower molecular weight component wherein the polymer has a polydispersity index of from about 10 to about 26; a zero shear viscosity of from about 5×105 Pa·s to about 2×1014 Pa·s and a smooth-to-matte transition critical stress of from about 20 kPa to about 85 kPa at a shear rate of from about 1.5 s−1 to about 17 s−1. A dual metallocene catalyzed polyethylene comprising (i) a higher molecular weight component and (ii) a lower molecular weight component wherein the polymer has a polydispersity index of from about 10 to about 26; a zero shear viscosity of from about 5×105 Pa·s to about 2×1014 Pa·s and a smooth-to-matte transition stress of from about 20 kPa to about 85 kPa at a shear rate of from about 1.5 s−1 to about 17 s−1.

摘要:
A method of preparing a polymer article comprising determining a zero-shear viscosity for a polymer sample; sieving the polymer sample to produce a plurality of sieved polymer samples; determining a molecular weight distribution for each of the plurality of sieved polymer samples; determining a zero-shear viscosity for each of the plurality of sieved polymer samples; determining a compositional diversity of each of the plurality of sieved polymer samples based on a ratio of the zero shear viscosity for each of the plurality of sieved polymer samples to the zero shear viscosity for the polymer sample; identifying a polymer sample having a ratio of the zero shear viscosity to zero shear viscosity for the polymer sample of from about 0.5 to equal to or greater than about 3; and preparing a polymer article from the identified polymer sample.
