Terpolymers

The invention relates to terpolymers of ethylene, an alpha olefin of 3 to 10 carbon atoms, preferably 4 to 10 carbon atoms, and a diene which contains 7 to 10 carbon atoms. The presence of the diene coincides with long chain branching in the terpolymer; the copolymer free of the diene exhibits no lo...

Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to terpolymers of ethylene, an alpha olefin of 3 to 10 carbon atoms, preferably 4 to 10 carbon atoms, and a diene which contains 7 to 10 carbon atoms. The presence of the diene coincides with long chain branching in the terpolymer; the copolymer free of the diene exhibits no long chain branching. Long chain branching is desirable as it increases the processability of the resulting polymerization product. The invention relates to alteration of a linear low density polyethylene which is ordinarily free of long chain branching to introduce long chain branching into the polymer.
