20090281342POLYMERIZATION CATALYSTS FOR PRODUCING HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYMERS WITH LOW LEVELS OF LONG CHAIN BRANCHING - This invention relates to catalyst compositions, methods, and polymers encompassing at least one Group 4 metallocene compound comprising bridging η11-12-2009
20090326168Multiple component feed methods and systems - Multiple components are selected, conveyed, and measured in a polymerization system. A control system adjusts the system variables to the desired values. Portions of the components can be fed to a pre-contactor before introduction into the polymerization reactor. The catalyst component concentrations and residence times are tightly controlled in the pre-contactor to affect product properties. The pre-contactor can be a single or multiple combinations of a CSTR or plug flow pre-contactors.12-31-2009
20100041842DUAL METALLOCENE CATALYSTS FOR POLYMERIZATION OF BIMODAL POLYMERS - This invention relates to catalyst compositions, methods, and polymers encompassing at least one first Group 4 metallocene compound comprising bridging η02-18-2010
20100069582POLYMERIZATION CATALYSTS FOR PRODUCING HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYMERS WITH LOW LEVELS OF LONG CHAIN BRANCHING - This invention relates to catalyst compositions, methods, and polymers encompassing at least one Group 4 metallocene compound comprising bridging η03-18-2010
