Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9842760A1] This invention relates to a grafted ethylene copolymer comprising ethylene and an alpha-olefin grafted with 0.1 weight % or more of an unsaturated acid or anhydride wherein the copolymer prior to grafting is characterized by: 1) a vinylidene to vinyl end chain unsaturation ratio of 3 or less, and 2) a CDBI of 60 % or more or was produced using one or more mono- or bis- cyclopentadienyl transition metal catalysts in combination with an activator of alumoxane and/or a non-coordinating anion, and the grafted copolymer is characterized by a number of unsaturated acid or anhydride molecules per chain of 2 or more as calculated according to the following formula: [Mn<*> UAA(wt%)]/[UAA(Mw)] wherein Mn is the number average molecular weight as measured by GPC, UAA(wt.%) is the weight percent of the unsaturated acid or anhydride as measured by FTIR spectroscopy and UAA(Mw) is the molecular weight of the unsaturated acid or anhydride.
