Abstract: Linear low density polyethylenes (LLDPEs) that have relatively high melt index ratios (MIR) and relatively high melt strength (MS) are described. This combination of melt properties is achieved by a substantially non-blended LLDPE. Catalysts used to produce these polyethylenes are generally a blend of bridged bisindenyl zirconocene dichlorides, where one zirconocene contains saturated indenyls and the other unsaturated indenyls.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a gas phase process for the polymerization of monomer(s) utilizing a metallocene catalyst system to produce easy processing polyolefin polymers.

Abstract: High molecular weight copolymers of ethylene and 0.5-10 mole percent branched a-olefins are disclosed. The polymers have M.sub.w of 30,000-1,000,000, MWD of 2-4, a density of 0.85-0.95 g/cm.sup.3, and a high composition distribution breadth index. Also disclosed are a method for making the polymers with a cyclopentadienyl metallocene catalyst system, and films, fibers, molded articles and other products made from the copolymers.

Abstract: The invention relates to peroxide- or radiation-curable copolymer containing compositions and to the resulting radiation- or peroxide- cured compositions. The compositions may optionally contain a reinforcing filler. Copolymers employed in the compositions are acrylate modified copolymers of an isoolefin of 4 to 7 carbon atoms and para-alkylstyrene comonomers. Since the percentage of extractables from the cured composition is negligible, the cured compositions are suitable for use in the manufacture of a variety of high purity rubber goods used in the pharmaceutical and health care industries. In addition, the compositions may be employed as condenser packings and as food contact materials or wire cable insulation materials. Further, the cured composition may be employed in the manufacture of high purity hoses.

Abstract: Novel tackifier resins having a M.sub.n of 5,000 or less and a T.sub.g of 0.degree. C. or above are produced by combining a metallocene catalyst with an alpha-olefin and a cyclic monomer. New adhesives are produced by blending the novel tackifier with a base polymer.
