Abstract:
A method comprising preparing a multi-component catalyst system comprising a catalyst and a cocatalyst, and adjusting the level of at least one component of the catalyst system to maintain a user-desired level of catalyst activity throughout a process, wherein the component comprises a catalyst activator and wherein the catalyst activator comprises the catalyst or the cocatalyst. A method comprising contacting a polymerization catalyst system comprising a Ziegler-Natta catalyst and a cocatalyst with a catalyst activator at least twice during a polymerization process, wherein the polymerization process is carried out in a reactor system comprising multiple reactor types.

Abstract:
A composition comprising a blend of a polyolefin, polylactic acid, and a reactive modifier. A method of producing an oriented film comprising reactive extrusion compounding a mixture comprising polypropylene, polylactic acid, a reactive modifier to form a compatibilized polymeric blend, casting the compatibilized polymeric blend into a film, and orienting the film. A method of preparing a reactive modifier comprising contacting a polyolefin, a multifunctional acrylate comonomer, and an initiator under conditions suitable for the formation of an epoxy-functionalized polyolefin wherein the epoxy-functionalized polyolefin has a grafting yield of from 0.2 wt. % to 15 wt. %.
