Abstract: Provided are ethylene-based polymer compositions, articles made therefrom, and methods of making the same. Ethylene-based polymer compositions include blends of a linear low density polyethylene prepared with metallocene catalyst and a low density polyethylene. The linear low density polyethylene may optionally have about five mole percent or less of monomer units derived from an alpha-olefin comonomer. Articles composed of such ethylene-based polymer compositions, such as blown films, exhibit favorable physical properties, including excellent optical properties and retained strength i.e., mitigation of expected decline in physical strength due to LDPE addition.

Abstract: Ethylene vinyl acetate compositions that have been partially crosslinked using organic peroxides are disclosed, as well as methods for their production. The crosslinked compositions have low melt index values and increased tensile strength, leading to flexibility and heat resistant properties.

Abstract: Bimetallic catalyst for producing polyethylene resins with a bimodal molecular weight distribution, its preparation and use. The catalyst is obtainable by a process which includes contacting a support material with an organomagnesium component and carbonyl-containing component. The support material so treated is contacted with a non-metallocene transition metal component to obtain a catalyst intermediate, the latter being contacted with an aluminoxane component and a metallocene component, This catalyst may be further activated with, e.g., alkylaluminum cocatalyst, and contacted, under polymerization conditions, with ethylene and optionally one or more comonomers, to produce ethylene homo- or copolymers with a bimodal molecular weight distribution and improved resin swell properties in a single reactor. These ethylene polymers are particularly suitable for blow molding applications.
