Long‐Chain Branching and Rheological Properties of Ethylene‐1‐Hexene Copolymers Synthesized from Ethylene Stock by Concurrent Tandem Catalysis

Abstract Summary: Concurrent tandem catalysis systems have shown a significant advantage in the convenient synthesis of linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE) from a sole ethylene monomer stock by uniquely coupling the tandem action between an ethylene oligomerization catalyst and an ethylene copolymerization catalyst in a single reactor. Recently, we have reported the successful synthesis of ethylene‐hexene derived LLDPE using an effective …
