Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A Ziegler-Natta catalyzed ethylene copolymer having a novel composition distribution in which comonomers are incorporated into the high molecular weight polymer molecules and distributed evenly among the entire polyethylene chains, and a method for making the same are provided. The resins having a novel composition distribution have controlled molecular weight distribution which is narrower than conventional ZN-ethylene copolymers but broader than single-site catalyzed ethylene copolymers. The resins having a novel composition distribution exhibit a superior tear strength and impact strength.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A Ziegler-Natta catalyzed ethylene alpha-olefin copolymer, further comprising: a density of between 0.900 g/cc and 0.930 g/cc; a melt index ratio (I 21 /I 2 ) of between 20 and 35 dg/min; a melt index (I 2 ) of between 0.1 and 10 dg/min; and a polydispersity index (Mw/Mn) of between 3.0 and 5.0; wherein the Temperature Raising Elution Fractionation (TREF) fraction distribution of the copolymer has at least 15 wt % of TREF fractions below an elution t…
