Abstract
The present invention relates to novel copolymers of alpha-olefins comprised of intramolecularly heterogeneous and intermolecularly homogeneous copolymer chains.
Claims24
In a polymerization process for producing copolymer in the form of copolymer chains, from a reaction mixture comprised of catalyst, ethylene, and at least one other alpha-olefin monomer, the improvement which comprises conducting the polymerization:
- (a) in at least one mix-free reactor,
- (b) with essentially one active catalyst species,
- (c) using at least one reaction mixture which is essentially transfer agent-free, and
- (d) in such a manner and under conditions sufficient to initiate propagation of essentially all of said copolymer chains simultaneously, wherein the copolymer chains are dispersed within the reaction mixture.
