Abstract
Novel metallocene catalysts for the synthesis of ethylene/alpha -olefin cop olymers are reviewed here. The technology used-single-site constrained geom etry catalyst technology-is demonstrated to be useful for the preparation o f a wide array of copolymers with unique materials properties, such as a hi gh melt fracture resistance, as illustrated in the Figure.
