  • Publication number: 20220325019
    Abstract: A method of controlling long chain branching in an ethylene-based polymer includes polymerizing ethylene with one or more optional monomers to form an ethylene-based polymer, and controlling a degree of long chain branching (LCB) in the ethylene-based polymer. The degree of LCB ranges from 0.1 per 1000 carbon atoms in the polymer backbone to 10 per 1000 carbon atoms in the polymer backbone, as measured by 13CNMR. The degree of LCB is controlled by adding one or more branched vinyl ester to the polymerizing step in an amount ranging from 0.01 mol % to 5.0 mol %, relative to total monomer content. A polymer composition contains the ethylene-based polymer. An article includes the polymer composition containing the ethylene-based polymer.

  • Patent number: 11396562
    Abstract: A method may include polymerizing ethylene in a tubular reactor, where the polymerization is substantially free of a chain transfer agent. A method may include polymerizing ethylene in a tubular reactor, the ethylene having a specific delivery pressure and the polymerization having one or more specific peak temperatures. The molecular weight of the resulting polyethylene may be controlled by the selection of the delivery pressure and the one or more peak temperatures.
