Definitions
- This invention relates to ethylene interpolymers and interpolymerization processes.
- the processes utilize at least one homogeneous polymerization catalyst and at least one heterogeneous polymerization catalyst in separate reactors connected in series or in parallel.
- Interpolymers produced from such processes are thermoplastic and have surprisingly beneficial properties, including improved impact and tear properties, high modulus and higher crystallization temperatures, and are useful in making molded or shaped articles, film, and the like.
- USP 4,330,646 describe a catalyst and solution polymerization process for producing polyethylenes having a narrow molecular weight distribution.
- USP 4,330,646 also describes a process for producing polyethylenes with a broader molecular weight distribution in a solution process. These processes are based on heterogeneous Ziegler type catalysts which produce interpolymers with broad composition distributions regardless of their molecular weight distribution. Such ethylene polymers have deficiencies in some properties, for instance, poor transparency and poor anti-blocking properties.
- heterogeneous ethylene copolymers with characteristics which include a narrower composition distribution than conventional heterogeneous copolymers.
- the utility of such polymer compositions in improving mechanical, optical and other important properties of formed or molded objects is also described.
- the complex structures of the copolymers necessary to achieve such advantages are finely and difficultly controlled by nuances of catalyst composition and preparation; any drift in which would cause a significant loss in the desired properties.
- U.S. Pat No. 3,645,992 (Elston) describes the preparation of homogeneous polymers and interpolymers of ethylene in a solution process operated at temperatures of less than 100°C.
- U.S. Pat No. 4,701,432 (Welborn, Jr.) describes a catalyst composition for the production of ethylene polymers having a varied range of composition distributions and/or molecular weight distributions. Such compositions contain a metallocene and a non-metallocene transition metal compound supported catalyst and an aluminoxane.
- U.S. Pat No. 4,659,685 (Coleman, III et al.) describes catalysts which are composed of two supported catalysts (one a metallocene complex supported catalyst and the second a non-metallocene transition metal compound supported catalyst) and an aluminoxane. The disadvantages of such catalysts in the commercial manufacture of ethylene polymers are primarily twofold.
- the choice of the metallocene and a non-metallocene transition metal compounds and their ratio would lead to polymers of controlled molecular structure
- the broad range of ethylene polymer structures required to meet all the commercial demands of this polymer family would require a plethora of catalyst compositions and formulations.
- the catalyst compositions containing aluminoxanes (which are generally required in high amounts with respect to the transition metal) are unsuitable for higher temperature solution processes as such amount of the aluminum compounds result in low catalyst efficiencies and yield ethylene polymers with low molecular weights and broad molecular weight distributions.
- polymerization catalyst and at least one heterogeneous polymerization catalyst in separate reactors connected in series or in parallel.
- the First Process is directed to:
- a process for preparing an ethylene/a-olef in interpolymer composition characterized by:
- step (A) in the presence of a heterogeneous Ziegler catalyst in at least one other reactor to produce a solution of a second interpolymer which has a broad composition distribution and a broad molecular weight distribution , wherein the Ziegler catalyst comprises
- Tr is a Group IVB, VB, or VIB metal
- q is 0 or a number equal to or less than 4,
- X' is a halogen
- R 1 is an alkyl group, aryl group or cycloalkyl group having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms
- R 2 is an alkyl group, aryl group, aralkyl group, or substituted aralkyl group
- step (D) removing the solvent from the polymer solution of step (C) and recovering the ethylene/a-olefin interpolymer composition.
- the homogeneous catalyst is chosen from those metallocene-type catalysts which are capable of producing ethylene/a-olef in interpolymers of sufficiently high molecular weight under solution process polymerization conditions (e.g., temperatures greater than or equal to about 100°C) .
- the heterogeneous catalyst is also chosen from those catalysts which are capable of efficiently producing the polymers under high temperature (e.g., temperatures greater than or equal to about 180°C) solution process conditions.
- the Second Process is directed to:
- a process for preparing an ethylene/a-olefin interpolymer composition characterized by:
- the Ziegler catalyst comprises
- Tr is a Group IVB, VB, or VIB metal
- q is 0 or a number equal to or less than 4,
- X' is a halogen
- R 1 is an alkyl group, aryl group or cycloalkyl group having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and
- R 2 is an alkyl group, aryl group, aralkyl group, or substituted aralkyl group
- step (C) removing the solvent from the polymer solution of step (B) and recovering the ethylene/a-olef in interpolymer composition.
- the homogeneous catalyst composition preferably exhibits a high reactivity ratio and very readily incorporates higher a-olefins.

- novel interpolymers of ethylene and at least one a-olefin wherein the
- interpolymers have controlled composition and molecular weight

- narrow composition distribution used herein describes the comonomer distribution for homogeneous interpolymers and means that the homogeneous interpolymers have only a single melting peak and essentially lack a measurable "linear" polymer fraction.
- the narrow composition distribution homogeneous interpolymers can also be
- SCBDI Short Chain Branch Distribution Index
- CDBI Composition Distribution Branch Index
- the SCBDI or CBDI is defined as the weight percent of the polymer molecules having a comonomer content within 50 percent of the median total molar comonomer content.
- the CDBI of a polymer is readily calculated from data obtained from techniques known in the art, such as, for example, temperature rising elution fractionation (abbreviated herein as "TREF") as described, for example, in Wild et al, Journal of Polymer Science, Poly. Phys. Ed., Vol. 20, p. 441 (1982), or in U.S. Patent 4,798,081.

- the heterogeneous interpolymers also have a degree of branching equal to or greater than 25 methyls/1000 carbons in 25 percent or less (by weight), preferably less than 15 percent (by weight), and especially less than 10 percent (by weight).
- the homogeneous polymers and interpolymers used to make the novel polymer compositions of the present invention can be ethylene homopolymers or, preferably, interpolymers of ethylene with at least one C 3 -C 20 a-olefin and/or C 4 -C 13 diolefins.
- Homogeneous copolymers of ethylene and propylene, butene-1, hexene-1, 4-methyl-1-pentene and octene- 1 are preferred and copolymers of ethylene and 1-octene are especially preferred.
- Either, or both, of the homogeneous ethylene polymer and the heterogeneous ethylene polymer can be an ethylene homopolymer.
- either the homogeneous ethylene polymer or the heterogeneous ethylene polymer is an ethylene/alpha-olef in interpolymer.
- Ethylene polymer compositions wherein both the homogeneous ethylene polymer and the heterogeneous ethylene polymer are ethylene/alpha-olefin interpolymers are especially preferred.

- the multiple reactor scheme at least one of the reactors makes the homogeneous ethylene polymer and at least one of the reactors makes the heterogeneous ethylene polymer.
- the reactors are operated in a series configuration to make most advantage of the high polymerization temperatures allowed by the heterogeneous catalyst.
- step (A) When the reactors are connected in series, the polymerization reaction product from step (A) is fed directJy (i.e., sequentially) into the reactor (s) for step (B) along with the ethylene/a-olef in reactants and heterogenous catalyst and solvent.

- the critical shear rate at onset of surface melt fracture for the substantially linear olefin polymers is at least 50 percent greater than the critical shear rate at the onset of surface melt fracture of a linear olefin polymer having about the same 12 and Mw/Mn .
- Gross melt fracture occurs at unsteady flow conditions and ranges in detail from regular (alternating rough and smooth, helical, etc.) to random distortions. For commercial acceptability, (e.g., in blown film products), surface defects should be minimal, if not absent.
- the critical shear rate at onset of surface melt fracture (OSMF) and onset of gross melt fracture (OGMF) will be used herein based on the changes of surface roughness and configurations of the extrudates extruded by a GER .
