摘要:
The present invention pertains to a continuous process and polymerization system characterized by separate injection of catalyst and make-up feed, an ethylene interpolymer composition characterized as having broad molecular weight distribution (MWD) and optimized compositional uniformity, a process for making such a composition and a fabricated article made from such composition. The novel composition is characterized as having a melt flow ratio, I10/I2, from 8 to 30, a Mw/Mn of greater than 4 as determined by gel permeation chromatography, a melt index, I2, from 0.01 to 1000 grams/10 minutes, preferably greater that 0.1 to 10 grams/10 minutes, and a density less than 0.945 g/cm3. The novel composition exhibits good processibility and improved toughness properties, especially excellent film tear and impact resistance, and is particularly well-suited for use in applications such as high performance trash can liners and heavy duty shipping bags.

The present invention relates to articles and heat storage devices for storage of thermal energy. The articles include a metal base sheet and a metal cover sheet, wherein the metal base sheet and the metal cover sheet are sealingly joined to form one or more sealed spaces. The articles include a thermal energy storage material that is contained within the sealed spaces. The sealed spaces preferably are substantially free of water or includes liquid water at a concentration of about 1 percent by volume or less at a temperature of about 25° C., based on the total volume of the sealed spaces. The articles include one or more of the following features: a) the pressure in a sealed space is about 700 Torr or less, when the temperature of the thermal energy storage material is about 25° C.; b) the metal cover sheet includes one or more stiffening features, wherein the stiffening features include indents into the sealed space, protrusions out of the sealed space, or both, that are sufficient in size and number to reduce the maximum von Mises stress in the cover sheet during thermal cycling; c) the metal cover sheet and/or the metal base sheet includes one or more volume expansion features; or d) the metal cover sheet has a thickness, tc, and the metal base sheet has a thickness, tb, wherein tc is greater than tb; so that the article is durable. For example, the article does not leak after thermal cycling between about 25° C. and about 240° C., for 1,000 cycles.

The subject invention is directed to polymer compositions which comprise a homogeneous ethylene/&agr;-olefin interpolymer, a wax and a nucleating agent, wherein the nucleating agent is provided in an effective amount such that the percent elongation at break of the polymer composition is at least about fifty percent greater than the percent elongation at break of a comparative composition which lacks the nucleating agent. The polymer compositions of the invention will find utility in applications r equiring high elongation at break, while maintaining a high onset of crystallization temperature, such as in the high-speed coating of fabrics, carpet backing, floor tile and sheeting, and adhesives.
