  • Patent number: 8716166
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to chain shuttling agents (CSAs), a process of preparing the CSAs, a composition comprising a CSA and a catalyst, a process of preparing the composition, a processes of preparing polyolefins, end functional polyolefins, and telechelic polyolefins with the composition, and the polyolefins, end functional polyolefins, and telechelic polyolefins prepared by the processes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 2, 2012
    Date of Patent: May 6, 2014
    Assignee: Dow Global Technologies LLC
    Inventors: Thomas P. Clark, Nahrain E. Kamber, Sara B. Klamo, Phillip D. Hustad, David R. Wilson
  • Patent number: 8501885
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to olefin polymerization catalysts and compositions, their manufacture, and the production of polyolefins using specific catalyst compositions, including the use of chain shuttling agents in the olefin polymerization process. Specifically, this disclosure provides for dual headed and multi-headed chain shuttling agents (CSAs or MSAs) and for their use in preparing blocky copolymers. By controlling the ratio of dual-headed and multi-headed CSA sites to mono-headed CSA sites, a blocky copolymer can be provided having properties such as a narrow molecular weight distribution and/or improved melt properties.
