    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a process. In an embodiment, the process includes contacting ethylene and octene under polymerization conditions at a temperature greater than 125° C. with a catalyst system comprising (i) a first polymerization catalyst having the structure of Formula (III), a second polymerization catalyst having the structure of Formula (I), and (iii) a chain shuttling agent. The process includes forming an ethylene/octene multi-block copolymer having a normalized OOO triad content greater than 0.25. The present disclosure provides the resultant composition produced by the process. In an embodiment, the composition includes an ethylene/octene multi-block copolymer having a normalized OOO triad content greater than 0.25.

    Abstract: A process to form a block copolymer comprising two or more regions or segments of differentiated polymer composition or properties, including feeding a first mixture that includes a chain shuttling agent, a solvent, the one or more monomers, and optionally hydrogen into a first reactor or reactor zone, feeding a second mixture that includes at least one olefin polymerization catalyst and at least one cocatalyst into the first reactor or reactor zone, contacting the first mixture and the second mixture under polymerization conditions in the first reactor or reactor zone to form a reaction mixture that is characterized by the formation of polymer chains from the monomers, allowing polymerization to occur in the first reactor or reactor zone and/or a second reactor or reactor zone to form polymer chains that are differentiated from the polymer chains, such that the resultant polymer has two or more chemically or physically distinguishable blocks.
