POLYMERIZATION CATALYSTS FOR PRODUCING POLYMERS WITH LOW LEVELS OF LONG CHAIN BRANCHING

摘要

This invention relates to catalyst compositions, methods, and polymers encompassing at least one Group 4 metallocene compound comprising bridging eta5-cyclopentadienyl-type ligands, typically in combination with at least one cocatalyst, and at least one activator. The compositions and methods disclosed herein provide ethylene polymers with low levels of long chain branching.
