Abstract:
A non-pourable homogeneous ultra-low molecular weight interpolymer of ethylene with at least one C.sub.3 -C.sub.20 .alpha.-olefin which is characterized as having a number average molecular weight (M.sub.n) as determined by gel permeation chromatography, of no more than 11,000, a molecular weight distribution, M.sub.w /M.sub.n, as determined by gel permeation chromatography, of from 1.5 to 2.5, a pour point of greater than greater than -30.degree. C., as determined by ASTM Method No. D97, and a density of from 0.850 to 0.889 g/cm.sup.3,wherein the ultra-low molecular weight ethylene polymer is further characterized as having lamella greater than 40 nanometers in length when viewed using transmission electron microscopy.
