Abstract

See full text

A process for controlling the placement of alpha olefins within an ethylene copolymer. The process involves polymerizing ethylene and an alpha olefin in the gas phase while changing the breadth of control over the molar ratio of ethylene to comonomer and/or hydrogen which is being fed to a polymerization reactor. At tighter control breadths, the alpha olefin may be incorporated mainly in the higher molecular weight portions of the ethylene copolymer. At looser control breadths, the alpha olefin may be incorporated more evenly throughout the ethylene copolymer or mainly in the lower molecular weight portions of the ethylene copolymer.
