     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     This invention relates to a process to polymerize olefins using multiple catalysts and multiple reactors and polymers produced therefrom. In particular this invention relates to a process to produce polyolefin adhesives and the adhesives so produced. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     For some applications such as adhesives individual polymers do not possess the necessary combination of properties. Individual polyolefins having certain characteristics are often blended together in the hope of combining the positive attributes of the individual components. Typically the result is a blend which displays an average of the individual properties of the individual resins. For example EP 0 527 589 discloses blends of flexible, low molecular weight amorphous polypropylene with higher molecular weight isotactic polypropylene to obtain compositions with balanced mechanical strength and flexibility. These compositions show better flexibility compared to that of the isotactic polypropylene alone, but are still lacking in other physical attributes. Physical blends also have the problems of inadequate miscibility. Unless the components are selected for their compatibility they can phase separate or smaller components can migrate to the surface. Reactor blends, also called intimate blends (a composition comprising two or more polymers made in the same reactor or in a series of reactors) are often used to address these issues, however finding catalyst systems that will operate under the same environments to produce different polymers has been a challenge. 
     Multiple catalyst systems have been used in the past to produce reactor blends (also called intimate blends) of various polymers and other polymer compositions. Reactor blends and other one-pot polymer compositions are often regarded as superior to physical blends of similar polymers. For example U.S. Pat. No. 6,248,832 discloses a polymer composition produced in the presence of one or more stereospecific metallocene catalyst systems and at least one non-stereospecific metallocene catalyst system. The resultant polymer has advantageous properties over the physical blends disclosed in EP 0 527 589 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,539,056. 
     Thus there has been interest in the art in developing multiple catalyst systems to produce new polymer compositions. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,516,848 discloses the use of two different cyclopentadienyl based transition metal compounds activated with alumoxane or non-coordinating anions. In particular, the examples disclose, among other things, catalyst compounds in combination, such as (Me 2 Si(Me 4 C 5 )(N-c-C 12 H 23 )TiCl 2  and rac-Me 2 Si(H 4 Ind)ZrCl 2 , or Me 2 Si(Me 4 C 5 )(N-c-C 12 H 23 )TiCl 2  and Me 2 Si(Ind 2 )HfMe 2 , (Ind=indenyl) activated with activators such as methylalumoxane or N,N-dimethyl anilinium tetrakis(pentafluorphenyl) borate to produce polypropylenes having bimodal molecular weight distributions (Mw/Mn), varying amounts of isotacticity (from 12 to 52 weight % isotactic PP in the product in Ex 2, 3 and 4), and having weight average molecular weights over 100,000, and some even as high as 1,200,000 for use as thermoplastics. Likewise, U.S. Pat. No. 6,184,327 discloses a thermoplastic elastomer comprising a branched olefin polymer having crystalline sidechains and an amorphous backbone wherein at least 90 mole percent of the sidechains are isotactic or syndiotactic polypropylene and at least 80 mole percent of the backbone is atactic polypropylene produced by a process comprising: a) contacting, in solution, at a temperature from about 90° C. to about 120° C., propylene monomers with a catalyst composition comprising a chiral, stereorigid transition metal catalyst compound capable of producing isotactic or syndiotactic polypropylene; b) copolymerizing the product of a) with propylene and, optionally, one or more copolymerizable monomers, in a polymerization reactor using an achiral transition metal catalyst capable of producing atactic polypropylene; and c) recovering a branched olefin polymer. Similarly U.S. Pat. No. 6,147,180 discloses the synthesis of a thermoplastic polymer composition, which is produced by first polymerizing monomers to produce at least 40% vinyl terminated macromonomers and then copolymerizing the macromonomers with ethylene. In addition U.S. Pat. No. 6,323,284 discloses a method to produce thermoplastic compositions (mixtures of crystalline and amorphous polyolefin copolymers) by copolymerizing alpha-olefins and alpha, omega dienes using two separate catalyst systems. 
     Likewise others have experimented with multiple stage processes to produce new polymer compositions. For example EP 0 366 411 discloses a graft polymer having an EPDM backbone with polypropylene grafted thereto at one or more of the diene monomer sites through, the use of a two-step process using a different Ziegler-Natta catalyst system in each step. This graft polymer is stated to be useful for improving the impact properties in blended polypropylene compositions. 
     Although each of the polymers described in the above references has interesting combinations of properties, there remains a need for new composition that offer other new and different property balances tailored for a variety of end uses. In particular, it would be desirable to find a composition that is strong yet has adhesive characteristics and the ability to be applied using adhesive technology and equipment.

Rapid Commun. 2001, 22, No. 16 (pages 1293 to 1301). At page 1299 they report propylene systems that produce a “gooey” product. 
     2. Studies with respect to the production of stereoblock polypropylene by using in-situ mixtures of metallocene catalysts with different stereoselectivity were recently performed by Lieber and Brintzinger in “Propene Polymerization with Catalyst Mixtures Containing Different Ansa-Zirconocenes: Chain Transfer to Alkylaluminum Cocatalysts and Formation of Stereoblock Polymers”, Macromolecules 2000, 33, No. 25 (pages 9192–9199). Propylene polymerization reactions were performed using metallocene catalysts H 4 C 2 (Flu) 2 ZrCl 2 , rac-Me 2 Si(2-Me-4-tBu-C 5 H 2 ) 2 ZrCl 2  and rac-Me 2 Si(2-MeInd) 2 ZrCl 2  in the presence of either MAO (methylalumoxane) or triisobutylaluminium (Al i Bu 3 )/triphenylcarbenium tetrakis(perfluorophenylborate) (trityl borate) as the cocatalyst. Propylene polymerization using the mixed catalysts, H 4 C 2 (Flu) 2 ZrCl 2  and rac-Me 2 Si(2-MeInd) 2 ZrCl 2  in the presence of either MAO or AliBu 3 /trityl borate produced waxy solids, which are completely separable into an atactic (diethyl ether-soluble) and an isotactic (insoluble) fraction. Neither fraction contained any combination of isotactic and atactic pentad patterns indicating that these catalyst mixtures did not form stereoblock polymers.

     In another embodiment the polymer produced by this invention has a molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) of at least 1.5, preferably at least 2, preferably at least 5, preferably at least 10, even alternatively at least 20. In other embodiments the Mw/Mn is 20 or less, 10 or less, even 5 or less.

Hydrogen may be used at amounts up to 2 weight %, but is preferably used at levels of 50 to 500 ppm. 
     In another embodiment the polymer produced is found to have at least two molecular weights fractions are present at greater than 20 weight % each based upon the weight of the polymer as measured by Gel Permeation Chromatography. The fractions can be identified on the GPC trace by observing two distinct populations of molecular weights. An example would be a GPC trace showing a peak at 20,000 Mw and another peak at 50,000 Mw where the area under the first peak represents more than 20 weight % of the polymer and the area under the second peak represents more than 20 weight % of the polymer. 
     In another embodiment the polymer of this invention has 20 weight % or more (based upon the weight of the starting polymer) of hexane room temperature soluble fraction, and 70 weight % or less, preferably 50 weight % or less of Soxhlet boiling heptane insolubles, based upon the weight of the polymer. Soxhlet heptane insoluble refers to one of the fractions obtained when a sample is fractionated using successive solvent extraction technique. The fractionations are carried out in two steps: one involves room temperature solvent extraction, the other soxhlet extraction. In the room temperature solvent extraction, about one gram of polymer is dissolved in 50 ml of solvent (hexane) to isolate the amorphous or very low molecular weight polymer species. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for about 12 hours. The soluble fraction is separated from the insoluble material using filtration under vacuum. The insoluble material is then subjected to a Soxhlet extraction procedure. This involves the separation of polymer fractions based on their solubility in various solvents having boiling points from just above room temperature to 110° C. The insoluble material from the room temperature solvent extraction is first extracted overnight with hexane (Soxhlet); the extracted material is recovered by evaporating the solvent and weighing the residue. The insoluble sample is then extracted with heptane and after solvent evaporation, it is weighed. The insolubles and the thimble from the final stage are air-dried in a hood to evaporate most of the solvent, then dried in a nitrogen-purged vacuum oven. The amount of insoluble left in the thimble is then calculated, provided the tare weight of the thimble is known. 
     In another embodiment, the polymers produced in this invention have a heptane insoluble fraction between 20% and 70 weight %, based upon the weight of the starting polymer, and the heptane insoluble fraction has branching index g′ of 0.9 (preferably 0.7) or less as measured at the Mz of the polymer. In a preferred embodiment the composition also has at least 20 weight % hexane soluble fraction, based upon the weight of the starting polymer. In another embodiment, the polymers produced in this invention have a heptane insoluble fraction between 20% and 70 weight %, based upon the weight of the starting polymer and a Mz between 20,000 and 500,000 of the heptane insoluble portion. In a preferred embodiment the composition also has at least 20 weight % hexane soluble fraction, based upon the weight of the starting polymer. In another embodiment the polymers produced have a hexane soluble portion of at least 20 weight %, based upon the weight of the starting polymer and that hexane soluble portion has a Tg but not a Tm. 
     In another embodiment the polymer of this invention comprises less than 4.5 mole % of ethylene, preferably less than 4.0 mole % ethylene, alternatively less than 3.5 mole % ethylene, alternatively less than 3.0 mole % ethylene, alternatively less than 2.5 mole % ethylene, alternatively less than 2.0 mole % ethylene, alternatively less than 1.5 mole % ethylene, alternatively less than 1.0 mole % ethylene, alternatively less than 0.5 mole % ethylene, alternatively less than 0.25 mole % ethylene, alternatively 0 mole % ethylene. 
     For ease of reference the polymer produced by the second catalyst having at least 40% crystallinity may also be referred to as the “semi-crystalline polymer” and the polymer produced by the first catalyst component having a crystallinity of less than 20% may be referred to as the “amorphous polymer.” 
     In another embodiment of this invention the polymer produced has a characteristic three-zone complex viscosity-temperature pattern, as shown in FIG. 1. The temperature dependence of complex viscosity was measured using ARES dynamic mechanical spectrometer operating at a frequency of 10 rad/s, with a strain of 20% under a nitrogen atmosphere, and a cooling rate of 10° C./min. The sample was first molten then gradually cooled down to room temperature while monitoring the build-up in complex viscosity. Above the melting point, which is typical of polymer processing temperature, the complex viscosity is relatively low (Zone I) and increases gradually with decreaseing temperature. In zone II, a sharp increase in complex viscosity appears as temperature is dropped. The third zone (Zone III) is the high complex viscosity zone, which appears at lower temperatures corresponding to application temperatures. In Zone III the complex viscosity is high and increases gradually with further decrease in temperature. Such a complex viscosity profile provides, in hot melt adhesive applications, a desirable combination of long opening time at processing temperatures and fast set time at lower temperatures.

     In another preferred embodiment a third catalyst (or more) may be present in the processes described above. The third catalyst may be any of the catalyst components listed herein. Preferred third catalysts include catalysts that are capable of producing waxes. Particularly preferred third catalysts include those capable of producing polymer having an Mw of 20,000 or less and a crystallinity of 10% or less at the selected polymerization conditions. In another embodiment, particularly preferred third catalysts include those capable of producing polymer having an Mw of 20,000 or less and a crystallinity of 10% or more, preferably 20% or more, at the selected polymerization conditions. 
     Other preferred third catalysts may include any catalyst described herein. One may select two or more catalysts to produce various macromonomers having reactive termini, used in combination with a catalyst that can polymerize such macromonomers. One may select two or more catalysts that can polymerize macromonomers and one catalyst that can produce macromonomers with reactive termini. Likewise one could also select three catalysts that produce different polymers under the same reaction conditions. For example one could select a catalyst that produces a somewhat crystalline polymer, one that produces a very crystalline polymer and one that produces an amorphous polymer, any of which may produce macromonomers with reactive termini or polymerize polymers having reactive termini. Similarly one could select two catalysts, one that produces crystalline polymers and one that produces an amorphous polymer, any of which may make macromonomers with reactive termini or polymerize polymers having reactive termini. Likewise one could select a catalyst that produces a somewhat crystalline polymer, one that produces a wax and one that produces an amorphous polymer, any of which may make macromonomers with reactive termini or polymerize polymers having reactive termini. 
     By reaction zone is meant an area where the activated catalyst and monomers can react.

By capable of polymerizing macromonomer having reactive termini is meant a catalyst component that can incorporate a macromonomer (which tend to be molecules larger than a typical single monomer such as ethylene or propylene), having reactive termni into a growing polymer chain. Vinyl terminated chains are generally more reactive than vinylene or vinylidene terminated chains.

     In another embodiment only one catalyst component is present in all the reaction zones. The catalyst component can be introducted into the first reaction zone only, or introcuced into multiple reaction zones. 
     In another embodiment more than two catalyst components are present in one or all reaction zones, at least one of the catalyst components is capable of producing a polymer having a crystallininty of 5% or less, and at least one other of the catalyst components is capable of producing a polymer having a crystallininty of 20% or more at the selected polymerization condtions. 
     In another embodiment a diolefin monomer is present in one or all of the reaction zones. 
     In another embodiment hydrogen is present in one or all of the reaction zones. 
     In a particular embodiment the present invention is directed to a polyolefin polymer produced by copolymerizing one or more C 3  or higher alpha-olefins and/or one or more di-vinyl monomers, and optionally up to 5 mol % ethylene, in the presence of at least one stereospecific catalyst system and at least one other catalyst system. The polymer so produced may contain amorphous polymer segments and crystalline polymer segments in which at least some of the segments are linked. Typically the amorphous and the crystalline polymer segments are copolymers of one or more alpha-olefins (optionally including up to 5 mol % ethylene) and/or one or more monomers having at least two olefinically unsaturated bonds. Both of these unsaturated bonds are suitable for and readily incorporated into a growing polymer chain by coordination polymerization using either the first or second catalyst systems independently such that the di-olefin is incorporated into polymer segments produced by both catalysts in the mixed catalyst system according to this invention. In a preferred embodiment these monomers having at least two olefinically unsaturated bonds are di-olefins, preferably di-vinyl monomers. Crosslinking of at least a portion of the mixture of polymer segments is believed to be accomplished during the polymerization of the composition by incorporation of a portion of di-vinyl comonomers into two polymer segments, thus producing a crosslink between those segments. 
     In another embodiment, polyolefin branch-block compositions containing amorphous and semi-crystalline components may be prepared in two or more reactors to yield desired property balance. In particular, aPP-g-scPP branch structures may be produced in-situ in two or more continuous solution reactors using mixed catalysts and propylene as the preferred feed. In one embodiment stereospecific bridged bis-indenyl group 4 catalysts can be selected to produce semicrystalline PP macromonomers. (All references to the Periodic Table of the Elements are to the Table published in Chemical and Engineering News, 63(5), 27, 1985.) A bridged mono-cyclopentadienyl heteroatom group 4 catalyst can be used to build amorphous PP (aPP) backbone while simultaneously incorporating some of the semi-crystalline macromonomers (scPP). This is believed to produce a aPP-g-scPP structure where the “-g-” indicates that the polymer types are at least partially grafted. By selecting the catalysts, the polymerization reaction conditions, and/or by introducing a diene modifier, the amorphous and crystalline components can be linked together to produce various branch-block structures. To effectively incorporate into a growing chain, a macromonomer with vinyl end group is preferred. Other types of chain end unsaturations (vinylene and vinylidene) can also be used. While not wishing to be bound by theory, branch-block copolymer is believed to comprise an amorphous backbone having crystalline side chains originating from the scPP macromonomers and the sidechains are believed to be polypropylene macromonomers, which can be prepared under solution polymerization conditions with catalysts suitable for preparing either of isotactic or syndiotactic polypropylene. 
     A preferred reaction process to produce polypropylene macromonomers having high levels of terminal vinyl unsaturation is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,117,962. Typically used catalysts are stereorigid, chiral or asymmetric, bridged metallocenes. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,892,851, U.S. Pat. No. 5,017,714, U.S. Pat. No. 5,132,281, U.S. Pat. No. 5,296,434, U.S. Pat. No. 5,278,264, U.S. Pat. No. 5,304,614, U.S. Pat. No. 5,510,502, WO-A-(PCT/US92/10066) WO-A-93/19103, EP-A2-0 577 581, EP-A1-0 578 838, and academic literature “The Influence of Aromatic Substituents on the Polymerization Behavior of Bridged Zirconocene Catalysts”, Spaleck, W., el al, Organometallics 1994, 13, 954–963, and “ansa-Zirconocene Polymerization Catalysts with Annelated Ring Ligands-Effects on Catalytic Activity and Polymer Chain Lengths”, Brinzinger, H., et al, Organometallics 1994, 13, 964–970, and documents referred to therein. 
     In some embodiments, the first catalyst which comprises a stereorigid transition metal pre-catalyst compound used to produce the semi-crystalline polypropylene macromonomers of the present invention is selected from the group consisting of racemic bridged bis(indenyl) zirconocenes or hafnocenes. In a another embodiment, the transition metal pre-catalyst compound is a rac-dimethylsilyl-bridged bis(indenyl) zirconocene or hafnocene. In another embodiment, the transition metal pre-catalyst compound is rac-dimethylsilyl bis(2-methyl-4-phenylindenyl)zirconium or hafnium dichloride or dimethyl. In another preferred embodiment, the transition metal catalyst is a rac-dimethylsilyl-bridged bis(indenyl)hafnocene such as rac-dimethylsilyl bis(indenyl)hafnium dimethyl or dichloride. 
     It is believed that the fraction of branch-block and the level of branching depend on the availability of macromonomers with unsaturated chain end and macromonomer incorporation capability of the specific catalyst. To increase the population of aPP-g-scPP branch-block composition, one typically operates within a process window that favors macromonomer production and insertion. Such conditions have been described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,117,962 and the journal article by W. Weng et. al, Macromol. Rapid Commun., 2000, 21, 1103–1107 and are further illustrated by the examples therein. 
     It is also believed that the higher the population of vinyl terminated scPP macromonomers the higher the probability of getting them incorporated into aPP backbone and therefore the higher the branch-block population. 
     To further increase the population of macromonomers having vinyl chain ends diolefin monomers can be introduced into the reaction medium. The resultant product is typically a blend comprised of isotactic polypropylene segments, atactic polypropylene segments, and increased population of branch-block species resulting from the additional couplings brought about by the diolefin crosslinking agent. 
     Crosslinking typically refers to the connection of two polymer segments by incorporation of each double bond of a diolefin monomer into two different polymer segments. The polymer segments so connected can be the same or different, with respect to their crystallinity. Three or more polymer segments may also be connected via incorporation of two or more diolefins in on polymer segment into two other polymer segments. 
     A consideration for selection of the monomer, or combinations of monomers, is that, both crystalline and amorphous polymer segments can be formed with the selection of two or more different catalyst systems. In some embodiments it is further desired that the level of incorporation of the diolefin monomer, if present, into the crystalline segments be limited to an amount that will not substantially alter its crystallinity. The diolefin coupling agent is typically kept minimum to insure the overall composition has a viscosity of 8000 mPa·s or less for some adhesive applications. 
     As mentioned above, to increase the population of aPP-g-scPP branch-block composition, one typically operates within a process window that favors macromonomer production and insertion. Favorablve conditions include: 
     1. High concentration of catalyst producing the semi-crystalline vinyl terminated macromonomers, and or 
     2. Adjusting the Al/metal ratio; and or 
     3. High operating temperature; and or 
     4. Catalyst structure that has a high affility for macromonomer incorporation; and or 
     5. Relatively long residence time; and or 
     6. High monomer conversion (monomer starvation condition enhances the insertion of macromonomer); and or 
     7. Addition of modifier (diene) to enhance the population of vinyl terminated macromonomers. 
     Another method of enhancing aPP-g-scPP branch block compositions is to add in a chain transfer agent that transfers a vinyl group to the end of the polymer chain while deactivating the catalyst. Such chain transfer agents include, but are not limited to, vinyl chloride, vinyl fluoride, vinyl bromide. In the process, the catalyst is reactivated by the presence of an aluminum alkyl activator such as an alumoxane (typically methylalumoxane). 
     Similarly, melting and crystallization characteristics can be controlled through catalyst selection, comonomer addition and changes in process conditions such as temperature and catalyst ratio if more than one catalyst is used. 
     Catalyst Compounds 
     Any catalyst compound that can produce the desired polymer species (i.e. a polymer having an Mw of 100,000 or less and a heat of fusion of 70 J/g or less, or a polymer having an Mw of 100,000 or less and a crystallinity of 20% or more) may be used in the practice of this invention. In the description herein the transition metal compound may be described as a catalyst precursor, a pre-catalyst compound or a catalyst compound, and these terms are used interchangeably. A catalyst system is combination of a catalyst precursor and an activator. 
     Catalyst Compounds and Selection 
     Any pre-catalyst compound (catalyst precursor compound) that can produce the desired polymer species (i.e. a polymer having an Mw of 100,000 or less and crystallinity of 5% or less, or a polymer having an Mw of 100,000 or less and a crystallinity of 20% or more) may be used in the practice of this invention. Pre-catalyst compounds which may be utilized in the process of the invention include metallocene transition metal compounds (containing one, two, or three cyclopentadienyl ligands per metal atom), non-metallocene early transition metal compounds (including those with amide and/or phenoxide type ligands), non-metallocene late transition metal compounds (including those with diimine or diiminepyridyl ligands), and other transition metal compounds. 
     Generally, bulky ligand metallocene compounds (pre-catalysts) useful in this invention include half and full sandwich compounds having one or more bulky ligands bonded to at least one metal atom. Typical bulky ligand metallocene compounds are generally described as containing one or more bulky ligand(s) and one or more leaving group(s) bonded to at least one metal atom. The bulky ligands are generally represented by one or more open, acyclic, or fused ring(s) or ring system(s) or a combination thereof. These bulky ligands, preferably the ring(s) or ring system(s) are typically composed of atoms selected from Groups 13 to 16 atoms of the Periodic Table of Elements, preferably the atoms are selected from the group consisting of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, silicon, sulfur, phosphorous, germanium, boron and aluminum or a combination thereof. Most preferably, the ring(s) or ring system(s) are composed of carbon atoms such as but not limited to those cyclopentadienyl ligands or cyclopentadienyl-type ligand structures or other similar functioning ligand structure such as a pentadienyl, a cyclooctatetraendiyl, a cyclobutadienyl, or a substituted allyl ligand. Other ligands that can function similarly to a cyclopentadienyl-type ligand include amides, phosphides, imines, phosphinimines, amidinates, and ortho-substituted phenoxides. The metal atom is preferably selected from Groups 3 through 15 and or lanthanide or actinide series of the Periodic Table of Elements. Preferably the metal is a transition metal from Groups 3 through 12, more preferably Groups 4, 5 and 6, and most preferably the transition metal is from Group 4.

     In general, suitable anions for the second component may be any stable and bulky anionic complex having the following molecular attributes: 1) the anion should have a molecular diameter greater than 4 Angstroms; 2) the anion should form stable ammonium salts; 3) the negative charge on the anion should be delocalized over the framework of the anion or be localized within the core of the anion; 4) the anion should be a relatively poor nucleophile; and 5) the anion should not be a powerful reducing or oxidizing agent. Anions meeting these criteria—such as polynuclear boranes, carboranes, metallacarboranes, polyoxoanions and anionic coordination complexes are well described in the chemical literature. 
     The cation portion of the second component may comprise Bronsted acids such as protons or protonated Lewis bases or may comprise Lewis acids such as ferricinum, tropylium, triphenylcarbenium or silver cations. 
     In another preferred method, the second component is a Lewis-acid complex which will react with at least one ligand of the first component, thereby forming an ionic species described in formulae 4–6 with the ligand abstracted from the first component now bound to the second component. Alumoxanes and especially methylalumoxane, the product formed from the reaction of trimethylaluminum in an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon with stoichiometric quantities of water, are particularly preferred Lewis-acid second components. Modified alumoxanes are also preferred. Alumoxanes are well known in the art and methods for their preparation are illustrated by U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,542,199; 4,544,762; 5,015,749; and 5,041,585. A technique for preparing modified alumoxanes has been disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,041,584, in EPA 0 516 476, and in EPA 0 561 476, which are incorporated by reference herein. 
     Upon combination of the first and second components, the second component reacts with one of the ligands of the first component, thereby generating an anion pair consisting of a Group 4 metal cation and the aforementioned anion, which anion is compatible with and non-coordinating towards the Group 4 metal cation formed from the first component. The anion of the second compound must be capable of stabilizing the Group 4 metal cation&#39;s ability to function as a catalyst and must be sufficiently labile to permit displacement by an olefin, diolefin or an acetylenically unsaturated monomer during polymerization.

     The Group 4 metal compounds; i.e., titanium, zirconium and hafnium metallocene compounds, useful as first compounds (pre-catalysts) in the preparation of the preferred metallocene catalysts of this invention are cyclopentadienyl derivatives of titanium, zirconium and hafnium. In general, useful titanocenes, zirconocenes and hafnocenes may be represented by the following general formulae:
 
(A-Cp)MX 1 X 2   (8)
 
(A-Cp)ML  (9)
 
                         
wherein:
     (A-Cp) is either (Cp)(Cp*) or Cp-A′-Cp*; Cp and Cp* are the same or different cyclopentadienyl rings substituted with from zero to five substituent groups S″, each substituent group S″ being, independently, a radical group which is a hydrocarbyl, substituted-hydrocarbyl, halocarbyl, substituted-halocarbyl, hydrocarbyl-substituted organometalloid, halocarbyl-substituted organometalloid, disubstituted boron, disubstituted pnictogen, substituted chalcogen or halogen radicals, or Cp and Cp* are cyclopentadienyl rings in which any two adjacent S″ groups are joined forming a C 4  to C 20  ring to give a saturated or unsaturated polycyclic cyclopentadienyl ligand;   A′ is a bridging group;   y is 0 or 1;   (C 5 H 5-y-x S″ x ) is a cyclopentadienyl ring substituted with from zero to five S″ radicals as defined above;   x is from 0 to 5 denoting the degree of substitution;   (JS′ z-1-y ) is a heteroatom ligand in which J is an element from Group 15 of the Periodic Table of Elements with a coordination number of 3 or an element from Group 16 with a coordination number of 2, S′ is a radical group which is a hydrocarbyl, substituted hydrocarbyl, halocarbyl, substituted halocarbyl, hydrocarbyl-substituted organometalloid, or halocarbyl-substituted organometalloid; and z is the coordination number of the element J;   L is an olefin, diolefin or aryne ligand. L′ is the same as L and can additionally be an amine, phosphine, ether, or sulfide ligand, or any other neutral Lewis base; L′ can also be a second transition metal compound of the same type such that the two metal centers M and M* are bridged by X 1  and X′ 1 , wherein M* has the same meaning as M, X′ 1  has the same meaning as X 1  and X′ 2  has the same meaning as X 2  where such dimeric compounds which are precursors to the cationic portion of the catalyst are represented by formula 7 above;   w is an integer from 0 to 3; and   X 1  and X 2  are, independently, hydride radicals, hydrocarbyl radicals, substituted hydrocarbyl radicals, halocarbyl radicals, substituted halocarbyl radicals, and hydrocarbyl- and halocarbyl-substituted organometalloid radicals, substituted pnictogen radicals, or substituted chalcogen radicals; or X 1  and X 2  are joined and bound to the metal atom to form a metallacycle ring containing from about 3 to about 20 carbon atoms; or X 1  and X 2  together can be an olefin, diolefin or aryne ligand; or when Lewis-acid activators, such as methylalumoxane, which are capable of donating an X 1  ligand as described above to the transition metal component are used, X 1  and X 2  may independently be a halogen, alkoxide, aryloxide, amide, phosphide or other univalent anionic ligand or both X 1  and X 2  can also be joined to form a anionic chelating ligand and with the proviso that X 1  and X 2  are not a substituted or unsubstituted cyclopentadienyl ring.   
     Table A depicts representative constituent moieties for the metallocene components of formulae 7–10. The list is for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed to be limiting in any way. A number of final components may be formed by permuting all possible combinations of the constituent moieties with each other. When hydrocarbyl radicals including alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, cycloalkynyl and aromatic radicals are disclosed in this application the term includes all isomers. For example, butyl includes n-butyl, 2-methylpropyl, 1-methylpropyl, tert-butyl, and cyclobutyl; pentyl includes n-pentyl, 1-methylbutyl, 2-methylbutyl, 3-methylbutyl, 1-ethylpropyl, neopentyl, cyclopentyl and methylcyclobutyl; butenyl includes E and Z forms of 1-butenyl, 2-butenyl, 3-butenyl, 1-methyl-1-propenyl, 1-methyl-2-propenyl, 2-methyl-1-propenyl and 2-methyl-2-propenyl. This includes when a radical is bonded to another group, for example, propylcyclopentadienyl include n-propylcyclopentadienyl, isopropylcyclopentadienyl and cyclopropylcyclopentadienyl. In general, the ligands or groups illustrated in Table A include all isomeric forms. For example, dimethylcyclopentadienyl includes 1,2-dimethylcyclopentadienyl and 1,3-dimethylcyclopentadienyl; methylindenyl includes 1-methylindenyl, 2-methylindenyl, 3-methylindenyl, 4-methylindenyl, 5-methylindenyl, 6-methylindenyl and 7-methylindenyl; methylethylphenyl includes ortho-methylethylphenyl, meta-methylethylphenyl and para-methylethylphenyl. Examples of specific invention catalyst precursors take the following formula where some components are listed in Table A. To illustrate members of the transition metal component, select any combination of the species listed in Tables A. For nomenclature purposes, for the bridging group, A′, the words “silyl” and “silylene” are used interchangeably, and represent a diradical species. For the bridging group A′, “ethylene” refers to a 1,2-ethylene linkage and is distinguished from ethene-1,1-diyl. Thus, for the bridging group A′, “ethylene” and “1,2-ethylene” are used interchangeably. For compounds processing a bridging group, A′, the bridge position on the cyclopentadienyl-type ring is always considered the 1-position. Thus, for example, the use of “1-fluorenyl” is interchangeable with the use of “fluorenyl” 
     Illustrative compounds of the formula 8 type are:
     bis(cyclopentadienyl)hafnium dimethyl, ethylenebis(tetrahydroindenyl)zirconium dihidryde, bis(pentamethyl)zirconium diethyl, dimethylsilyl(1-fluorenyl)(cyclopentadienyl)titanium dichloride and the like.   

     Illustrative compounds of the formula 9 type are:
     bis(cyclopentadienyl)(1,3-butadiene)zirconium, bis(cyclopentadienyl)(2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene)zirconium, bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)(benzene)zirconium, bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)titanium ethylene and the like.   

     Illustrative compounds of the formula 10 type are:
     dimethylsilyl(tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)(t-butylamido)zirconium dichloride, ethylene(methylcyclopentadienyl)(phenylamido)titanium dimethyl, methylphenylsilyl(indenyl)(phenyphosphido)hafnium dihydride and (pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)(di-t-butylamido)hafnium dimethoxide.   

     The conditions under which complexes containing neutral Lewis base ligands such as ether or those which form dimeric compounds is determined by the steric bulk of the ligands about the metal center. For example, the t-butyl group in Me 2 Si(Me 4 C 5 )(N-t-Bu)ZrCl 2  has greater steric requirements that the phenyl in Me 2 Si(Me 4 C 5 )(NPh)ZrCl 2 .Et 2 O thereby not permitting ether coordination in the former compound in its solid state. Similarly, due to the decreased steric bulk of the trimethylsilylcyclopentadienyl group in [Me 2 Si(Me 3 SiC 5 H 3 )(N-t-Bu)ZrCl 2 ] 2  versus that of the tetramethylcyclopentadienyl group in Me 2 Si(Me 4 C 5 )(N-t-Bu)ZrCl 2 , the former compound is dimeric and the latter is not.

     Additional preferred catalysts include those described in WO 01/48034, which is incorporated herein by reference. Particularly preferred catalyst compounds include those disclosed at page 9, line 38 to page 25, line 42, page 28, lines 5 to 17, and page 30, line 37 to page 35, line 28. 
     Activators and Activation Methods for Catalyst Compounds 
     The polymerization pre-catalyst compounds, described above, are typically activated in various ways to yield compounds having a vacant coordination site that will coordinate, insert, and polymerize olefin(s). For the purposes of this patent specification and appended claims, the terms “cocatalyst” and “activator” are used herein interchangeably and are defined to be any compound which can activate any one of the catalyst compounds described above by converting the neutral catalyst compound to a catalytically active catalyst compound cation. Non-limiting activators, for example, include alumoxanes, aluminum alkyls, ionizing activators, which may be neutral or ionic, and conventional-type cocatalysts. Preferred activators typically include alumoxane compounds, modified alumoxane compounds, and ionizing anion precursor compounds that abstract one reactive, σ-bound, metal ligand making the metal complex cationic and providing a charge-balancing noncoordinating or weakly coordinating anion. 
     Aluminoxane and Aluminum Alkyl Activators 
     In one embodiment, alumoxane activators are utilized as an activator in the catalyst composition useful in the invention. Alumoxanes are generally oligomeric compounds containing —Al(R 1 )—O— sub-units, where R 1  is an alkyl group. Examples of alumoxanes include methylalumoxane (MAO), modified methylalumoxane (MMAO), ethylalumoxane and isobutylalumoxane. Alkylalumoxanes and modified alkylalumoxanes are suitable as catalyst activators, particularly when the abstractable ligand is a halide, alkoxide or amide. Mixtures of different alumoxanes and modified alumoxanes may also be used. 
     The activator compounds comprising Lewis-acid activators and in particular alumoxanes are represented by the following general formulae:
 
(R 3 —Al—O) p   (11)
 
R 4 (R 5 —Al—O) p —AlR 6   2   (12)
 
(M′) m+ Q′ m   (13)
 
     An alumoxane is generally a mixture of both the linear and cyclic compounds. In the general alumoxane formula, R 3 , R 4 , R 5  and R 6  are, independently a C 1 –C 30  alkyl radical, for example, methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, and “p” is an integer from 1 to about 50. Most preferably, R 3 , R 4 , R 5  and R 6  are each methyl and “p” is a least 4. When an alkyl aluminum halide or alkoxide is employed in the preparation of the alumoxane, one or more R 3-6  groups may be halide or alkoxide. M′ is a metal or metalloid, and Q′ is a partially or fully fluorinated hydrocarbyl. 
     It is recognized that alumoxane is not a discrete material. A typical alumoxane will contain free trisubstituted or trialkyl aluminum, bound trisubstituted or trialkyl aluminum, and alumoxane molecules of varying degree of oligomerization. Those methylalumoxanes most preferred contain lower levels of trimethylaluminum. Lower levels of trimethylaluminum can be achieved by reaction of the trimethylaluminum with a Lewis base or by vacuum distillation of the trimethylaluminum or by any other means known in the art. It is also recognized that after reaction with the transition metal compound, some alumoxane molecules are in the anionic form as represented by the anion in equations 4–6, thus for our purposes are considered “non-coordinating” anions. 
     For further descriptions, see U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,665,208, 4,952,540, 5,041,584, 5,091,352, 5,206,199, 5,204,419, 4,874,734, 4,924,018, 4,908,463, 4,968,827, 5,329,032, 5,248,801, 5,235,081, 5,157,137, 5,103,031 and EP 0 561 476 A1, EP 0 279 586B1, EP 0 516 476A, EP 0 594 218A1 and WO 94/10180. 
     When the activator is an alumoxane (modified or unmodified), some embodiments select the maximum amount of activator at a 5000-fold molar excess Al/M over the catalyst precursor (per metal catalytic site). The minimum activator-to-catalyst-precursor is a 1:1 molar ratio. 
     Alumoxanes may be produced by the hydrolysis of the respective trialkylaluminum compound. MMAO may be produced by the hydrolysis of trimethylaluminum and a higher trialkylaluminum such as triisobutylaluminum. MMAO&#39;s are generally more soluble in aliphatic solvents and more stable during storage. There are a variety of methods for preparing alumoxane and modified alumoxanes, non-limiting examples of which are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,665,208, 4,952,540, 5,091,352, 5,206,199, 5,204,419, 4,874,734, 4,924,018, 4,908,463, 4,968,827, 5,308,815, 5,329,032, 5,248,801, 5,235,081, 5,157,137, 5,103,031, 5,391,793, 5,391,529, 5,693,838, 5,731,253, 5,731,451, 5,744,656, 5,847,177, 5,854,166, 5,856,256 and 5,939,346 and European publications EP-A-0 561 476, EP-B1-0 279 586, EP-A-0 594-218 and EP-B1-0 586 665, and PCT publications WO 94/10180 and WO 99/15534, all of which are herein fully incorporated by reference. It may be preferable to use a visually clear methylalumoxane. A cloudy or gelled alumoxane can be filtered to produce a clear solution or clear alumoxane can be decanted from the cloudy solution. Another alumoxane is a modified methyl alumoxane (MMAO) cocatalyst type 3A (commercially available from Akzo Chemicals, Inc. under the trade name Modified Methylalumoxane type 3A, covered under patent number U.S. Pat. No. 5,041,584). 
     Aluminum alkyl or organoaluminum compounds which may be utilized as activators (or scavengers) include trimethylaluminum, triethylaluminum, triisobutylaluminum, tri-n-hexylaluminum, tri-n-octylaluminum and the like. 
     Ionizing Activators 
     It is within the scope of this invention to use an ionizing or stoichiometric activator, neutral or ionic, such as tri(n-butyl)ammonium tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl)boron, a trisperfluorophenyl boron metalloid precursor or a trisperfluoronaphtyl boron metalloid precursor, polyhalogenated heteroborane anions (WO 98/43983), boric acid (U.S. Pat. No. 5,942,459) or combination thereof. It is also within the scope of this invention to use neutral or ionic activators alone or in combination with alumoxane or modified alumoxane activators. 
     Examples of neutral stoichiometric activators include tri-substituted boron, tellurium, aluminum, gallium and indium or mixtures thereof. The three substituent groups are each independently selected from alkyls, alkenyls, halogen, substituted alkyls, aryls, arylhalides, alkoxy and halides. Preferably, the three groups are independently selected from halogen, mono or multicyclic (including halosubstituted)aryls, alkyls, and alkenyl compounds and mixtures thereof, preferred are alkenyl groups having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, alkyl groups having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, alkoxy groups having 1 to 20 carbon atoms and aryl groups having 3 to 20 carbon atoms (including substituted aryls). More preferably, the three groups are alkyls having 1 to 4 carbon groups, phenyl, napthyl or mixtures thereof. Even more preferably, the three groups are halogenated, preferably fluorinated, aryl groups. Most preferably, the neutral stoichiometric activator is trisperfluorophenyl boron or trisperfluoronapthyl boron.

No. 08/285,380, filed Aug. 3, 1994, all of which are herein fully incorporated by reference. 
     Ionic catalysts can be preparedly reacting a transition metal compound with some neutral Lewis acids, such as B(C 6 F 6 ) 3 , which upon reaction with the hydrolyzable ligand (X) of the transition metal compound forms an anion, such as ([B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 (X)] − ), which stabilizes the cationic transition metal species generated by the reaction. The catalysts can be, and preferably are, prepared with activator components which are ionic compounds or compositions. However preparation of activators utilizing neutral compounds is also contemplated by this invention. 
     Compounds useful as an activator component in the preparation of the ionic catalyst systems used in the process of this invention comprise a cation, which is preferably a Bronsted acid capable of donating a proton, and a compatible non-coordinating anion which anion is relatively large (bulky), capable of stabilizing the active catalyst species (the Group 4 cation) which is formed when the two compounds are combined and said anion will be sufficiently labile to be displaced by olefinic diolefinic and acetylenically unsaturated substrates or other neutral Lewis bases such as ethers, nitrites and the like. Two classes of compatible non-coordinating anions have been disclosed in EPA 277,003 and EPA 277,004 published 1988: 1) anionic coordination complexes comprising a plurality of lipophilic radicals covalently coordinated to and shielding a central charge-bearing metal or metalloid core, and 2) anions comprising a plurality of boron atoms such as carboranes, metallacarboranes and boranes.

     The activating cation (L-H) d   +  may be a Bronsted acid, capable of donating a proton to the transition metal catalytic precursor resulting in a transition metal cation, including ammoniums, oxoniums, phosphoniums, silyliums, and mixtures thereof, preferably ammoniums of methylamine, aniline, dimethylamine, diethylamine, N-methylaniline, diphenylamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, N,N-dimethylaniline, methyldiphenylamine, pyridine, p-bromo N,N-dimethylaniline, p-nitro-N,N-dimethylaniline, phosphoniums from triethylphosphine, triphenylphosphine, and diphenylphosphine, oxomiuns from ethers such as dimethyl ether diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, sulfoniums from thioethers, such as diethyl thioethers and tetrahydrothiophene, and mixtures thereof. The activating cation (L-H) d   +  may also be a moiety such as silver, tropylium, carbeniums, ferroceniums and mixtures, preferably carboniums and ferroceniums. Most preferably (L-H) d   +  is triphenyl carbonium.

Preferably, each Q is a fluorinated hydrocarbyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, more preferably each Q is a fluorinated aryl group, and most preferably each Q is a pentafluoryl aryl group. Examples of suitable A d−  also include diboron compounds as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,447,895, which is fully incorporated herein by reference.

     In one embodiment, an activation method using ionizing ionic compounds not containing an active proton but capable of producing a bulky ligand metallocene catalyst cation and their non-coordinating anion are also contemplated, and are described in EP-A-0 426 637, EP-A-0 573 403 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,387,568, which are all herein incorporated by reference. 
     The term “non-coordinating anion” (NCA) means an anion which either does not coordinate to said cation or which is only weakly coordinated to said cation thereby remaining sufficiently labile to be displaced by a neutral Lewis base. “Compatible” non-coordinating anions are those which are not degraded to neutrality when the initially formed complex decomposes. Further, the anion will not transfer an anionic substituent or fragment to the cation so as to cause it to form a neutral four coordinate metallocene compound and a neutral by-product from the anion. Non-coordinating anions useful in accordance with this invention are those that are compatible, stabilize the metallocene cation in the sense of balancing its ionic charge at +1, yet retain sufficient lability to permit displacement by an ethylenically or acetylenically unsaturated monomer during polymerization. These types of cocatalysts sometimes use tri-isobutyl aluminum or tri-octyl aluminum as a scavenger. 
     Invention process also can employ cocatalyst compounds or activator compounds that are initially neutral Lewis acids but form a cationic metal complex and a noncoordinating anion, or a zwitterionic complex upon reaction with the invention compounds. For example, tris(pentafluorophenyl)boron or aluminum act to abstract a hydrocarbyl or hydride ligand to yield an invention cationic metal complex and stabilizing noncoordinating anion, see EP-A-0 427 697 and EP-A-0 520 732 for illustrations of analogous Group-4 metallocene compounds. Also, see the methods and compounds of EP-A-0 495 375. For formation of zwitterionic complexes using analogous Group 4 compounds, see U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,624,878; 5,486,632; and 5,527,929. 
     When the cations of noncoordinating anion precursors are Bronsted acids such as protons or protonated Lewis bases (excluding water), or reducible Lewis acids such as ferrocenium or silver cations, or alkali or alkaline earth metal cations such as those of sodium, magnesium or lithium, the catalyst-precursor-to-activator molar ratio may be any ratio. Combinations of the described activator compounds may also be used for activation. For example, tris(perfluorophenyl)boron can be used with methylalumoxane. 
     Conventional-Type Cocatalysts (Activators) 
     Typically, conventional transition metal catalyst compounds excluding some conventional-type chromium catalyst compounds are activated with one or more of the conventional cocatalysts which may be represented by the formula:
 
M 3 M 4   v X 2   c R 2   b-c   (15)
 
wherein M 3  is a metal from Group 1 to 3 and 12 to 13 of the Periodic Table of Elements; M 4  is a metal of Group 1 of the Periodic Table of Elements; v is a number from 0 to 1; each X 2  is any halogen; c is a number from 0 to 3; each R 2  is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical or hydrogen; b is a number from 1 to 4; and wherein b minus c is at least 1. Other conventional-type organometallic cocatalyst compounds for the above conventional-type transition metal catalysts have the formula M 3 R 2   k , where M 3  is a Group IA, IIA, IIB or IIIA metal, such as lithium, sodium, beryllium, barium, boron, aluminum, zinc, cadmium, and gallium; k equals 1, 2 or 3 depending upon the valency of M 3  which valency in turn normally depends upon the particular Group to which M 3  belongs; and each R 2  may be any monovalent hydrocarbon radical.

Other conventional-type cocatalyst compounds include mono-organohalides and hydrides of Group 2 metals, and mono- or di-organohalides and hydrides of Group 3 and 13 metals. Non-limiting examples of such conventional-type cocatalyst compounds include di-isobutylaluminum bromide, isobutylboron dichloride, methyl magnesium chloride, ethylberyllium chloride, ethylcalcium bromide, di-isobutylaluminum hydride, methylcadmium hydride, diethylboron hydride, hexylberyllium hydride, dipropylboron hydride, octylmagnesium hydride, butylzinc hydride, dichloroboron hydride, di-bromo-aluminum hydride and bromocadmium hydride.

     Additional Activators 
     Other activators include those described in PCT publication WO 98/07515 such as tris (2,2′,2″-nonafluorobiphenyl)fluoroaluminate, which publication is fully incorporated herein by reference. Combinations of activators are also contemplated by the invention, for example, alumoxanes and ionizing activators in combinations, see for example, EP-B1 0 573 120, PCT publications WO 94/07928 and WO 95/14044 and U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,153,157 and 5,453,410 all of which are herein fully incorporated by reference. 
     Other suitable activators are disclosed in WO 98/09996, incorporated herein by reference, which describes activating bulky ligand metallocene catalyst compounds with perchlorates, periodates and iodates including their hydrates. WO 98/30602 and WO 98/30603, incorporated by reference, describe the use of lithium (2,2′-bisphenyl-ditrimethylsilicate).4THF as an activator for a bulky ligand metallocene catalyst compound. WO 99/18135, incorporated herein by reference, describes the use of organo-boron-aluminum acitivators. EP-B1-0 781 299 describes using a silylium salt in combination with a non-coordinating compatible anion. Also, methods of activation such as using radiation (see EP-B1-0 615 981 herein incorporated by reference), electro-chemical oxidation, and the like are also contemplated as activating methods for the purposes of rendering the neutral bulky ligand metallocene catalyst compound or precursor to a bulky ligand metallocene cation capable of polymerizing olefins. Other activators or methods for activating a bulky ligand metallocene catalyst compound are described in for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,849,852, 5,859,653 and 5,869,723 and WO 98/32775, WO 99/42467 (dioctadecylmethylammonium-bis(tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane)benzimidazolide), which are herein incorporated by reference. 
     Another suitable ion forming, activating cocatalyst comprises a salt of a cationic oxidizing agent and a noncoordinating, compatible anion represented by the formula:
 
(OX e+ ) d (A d− ) e   (16)
 
wherein OX e+  is a cationic oxidizing agent having a charge of e+; e is an integer from 1 to 3; and A − , and d are as previously defined. Examples of cationic oxidizing agents include: ferrocenium, hydrocarbyl-substituted ferrocenium, Ag + , or Pb +2 . Preferred embodiments of A d−  are those anions previously defined with respect to the Bronsted acid containing activators, especially tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate.
 
     It within the scope of this invention that catalyst compounds can be combined one or more activators or activation methods described above. For example, a combination of activators have been described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,153,157 and 5,453,410, European publication EP-B1 0 573 120, and PCT publications WO 94/07928 and WO 95/14044. These documents all discuss the use of an alumoxane and an ionizing activator with a bulky ligand metallocene catalyst compound. 
     The Choice of Transition Metal Catylst Components 
     The catalyst system of this invention comprises two or more transition metal compounds as described above. At least one of the compounds must be capable of producing a crystalline poly-α-olefin, preferably isotactic polypropylene or syndiotactic polypropylene, having a crystallinity of 40% or more. The other compound must be capable of producing an amorphous poly-α-olefin, preferably atactic polypropylene, having a crystallinity of 20% or less. 
     The choice of transition metal component for the crystalline polymer fraction is a subset of the transition metal component of equations 8–9. This preferred component is illustrated in equation 17: 
                         
wherein A′, M, X 1  and X 2  are as previously defined. Substituents S″ v  are independently defined as S″ in equations 8–9 where the subscript “v” denotes the carbon atom on the Cp-ring to which the substituent is bonded.
 
     Preferably metallocene precursors for producing poly-α-olefins having enhanced isotactic character are those of Equation 17 where S″ v  are independently chosen such that the metallocene framework 1) has no plane of symmetry containing the metal center, and 2) has a C 2 -axis of symmetry through the metal center. Such complexes, such as rac-Me 2 Si(indenyl) 2 ZrMe 2  and rac-Me 2 Si(indenyl) 2 HfMe 2  are well known in the art and generally produce isotactic polymers with higher degrees of stereoregularity than the less symmetric chiral systems. Likewise another preferred class of transition metal compounds that can produce isotactic polymers useful in this invention are those monocyclopentadienyl catalysts disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,026,798, which is incorporated by reference herein. 
     Preferred chiral racemic metallocene compounds which, according to the present invention, provide catalyst systems which are specific to the production of isotactic poly-α-olefins include the racemic versions of:

     The most preferred species are the racemic versions of: dimethylsilylbis(indenyl)zirconium dichloride, dimethylsilylbis(indenyl)zirconium dimethyl, ethylenebis(indenyl)zirconium dichloride, ethylenebis(indenyl)zirconium dimethyl, dimethylsilylbis(tetrahydorindenyl)zirconium dichloride, dimethylsilylbis(tetrahydorindenyl)zirconium dimethyl, ethylenebis(tetrahydorindenyl)zirconium dichloride, ethylenebis(tetrahydorindenyl)zirconium dimethyl, dimethylsilylbis(2-methylindenyl)zirconium dichloride, dimethylsilylbis(2-methylindenyl)zirconium dimethyl, ethylenebis(2-methylindenyl)zirconium dichloride, ethylenebis(2-methylindenyl)zirconium dimethyl, dimethylsilylbis(2-methyl-4 phenylindenyl)zirconium dichloride, dimethylsilylbis(2-methyl-4-phenylindenyl)zirconium dimethyl, ethylenebis(2-methyl-4-phenylindenyl)zirconium dichloride, ethylenebis(2-methyl-4-phenylindenyl)zirconium dimethyl, dimethylsilylbis(4,7-dimethylindenyl)zirconium dichloride, dimethylsilylbis(4,7-dimethylindenyl)zirconium dimethyl, ethylenebis(4,7-dimethylindenyl)zirconium dichloride, ethylenebis(4,7-dimethylindenyl)zirconium dimethyl, dimethylsilylbis(indenyl)hafnium dichloride, dimethylsilylbis(indenyl)hafnium dimethyl, ethylenebis(indenyl)hafnium dichloride, ethylenebis(indenyl)hafnium dimethyl, dimethylsilylbis(tetrahydorindenyl)hafnium dichloride, dimethylsilylbis(tetrahydorindenyl)hafnium dimethyl, ethylenebis(tetrahydorindenyl)hafnium dichloride, ethylenebis(tetrahydorindenyl)hafnium dimethyl, dimethylsilylbis(2-methylindenyl)hafnium dichloride, dimethylsilylbis(2-methylindenyl)hafnium dimethyl, ethylenebis(2-methylindenyl)hafnium dichloride, ethylenebis(2-methylindenyl)hafnium dimethyl, dimethylsilylbis(2-methyl-4-phenylindenyl)hafnium dichloride, dimethylsilylbis(2-methyl-4-phenylindenyl)hafnium dimethyl, ethylenebis(2-methyl-4-phenylindenyl)hafnium dichloride, ethylenebis(2-methyl-4-phenylindenyl)hafnium dimethyl, dimethylsilylbis(4,7-dimethylindenyl)hafnium dichloride, dimethylsilylbis(4,7-dimethylindenyl)hafnium dimethyl, ethylenebis(4,7-dimethylindenyl)hafnium dichloride, and ethylenebis(4,7-dimethylindenyl)hafnium dimethyl. 
     Similarly, metallocene precursors providing tacticity control exist where (A-Cp) is (Cp) (Cp*), both Cp and Cp* having substituents on the cyclopentadienyl rings of sufficient steric bulk to restrict rotation of the cyclopentadienyl ligands such that the aforementioned symmetry conditions are satisfied. Preferable chiral racemic metallocenes of this type include bis(tricyclo[5.2.1.0 2,6 ]deca-2,5-dienyl)zirconium and -hafnium dimethyl, bis((1R)-9,9-dimethyltricyclo[6.1.1.0 2,6 ]deca-2,5-dienyl)zirconium dimethyl, bis(tricyclo[5.2.1.0 2,6 ]deca-2,5,8-trienyl)zirconium dimethyl, bis(tricyclo[5.2.2.0 2,6  ]undeca-2,5,8-trienyl)zirconium and -hafnium dimethyl and bis((1R,8R)-7,7,9,9-tetramethyl[6.1.1.0 2,6 ]deca-2,5-dienyl)zirconium and -hafnium dimethyl. 
     Preferably metallocene precursors for the production of poly-α-olefins having enhanced syndiotactic character are also those of Equation 17 where S″ are independently chosen such that the two Cp-ligands have substantially different steric bulk. In order to produce a syndiotactic polymer the pattern of the groups substituted on the Cp-rings is important. Thus, by steric difference or sterically different as used herein, it is intended to imply a difference between the steric characteristics of the Cp and Cp* rings that renders each to be symmetrical With respect to the A bridging group but different with respect to each other that controls the approach of each successive monomer unit that is added to the polymer chain. The steric difference between the Cp and Cp* rings act to block the approaching monomer from a random approach such that the monomer is added to the polymer chain in the syndiotactic configuration. 
     Preferable metallocene precursors for the production of syndiotactic polymers are those of Equation 17 where S″ are independently chosen such that 1) the steric difference between the two Cp-ligands is maximized and 2) there remains a plane of symmetry through the metal center and the C 1  and C 1′  carbon atoms of the Cp-rings in Equation 17. Thus, complexes such as Me 2 C(η 5 -C 5 H 4 )(1-fluorenyl)MMe 2  (where M=Ti, Zr, or Hf) which possess this symmetry are preferred, and generally produce the syndiotactic polymer with higher degrees of stereoregularity than similar, but less symmetric, systems. Additionally, in the above equation, 1-fluorenyl may be substituted with 3,8-di-t-butylfluorenyl, octahydrofluorenyl or 3,3,6,6,9,9,12,12-octamethyl-4,4,5,5,10,10,11,11-octahydrodibenzo[b,h]fluorene. Because pre-catalysts of this type often lose there ability to control the stereoregularity of the polymer under high temperature reaction conditions, to insure higher crystallinity in the material requires using these catalysts at lower reactor temperatures, preferably at temperatures below 80° C. 
     Preferred catalysts that can produce the lower molecular weight isotactic polypropylene are those described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,120,867, which is incorporated by reference herein. Any mixture of catalysts, including supported catalysts, which can be used together in a single reactor or in a series reactor configuration, that can also produce the desired polypropylene can be utilized in this invention to produce the in situ blend. Preferred catalysts include cyclopentadienyl transition metals compounds and derivatives thereof used in conjunction with an alumoxane and/or a compatible non-coordinating anion. Additional preferred catalsyts that produce crystalline polypropylene are discussed in Chem. rev. 2000, 100, 1253–1345, which is incorporated by reference herein. 
     The preferred choice of transition metal component for the amorphous polymer fraction is the mono-cyclopentadienyl transition metal component of equation 10 where y is equal to 1. This preferred component is illustrated in equation 18: 
                         
where A′, J, S′, X 1 , X 2 , L′, z and w as are previously defined and M is titanium. Substituent S″ v  is defined to be the same as S″ in equation 10 where the subscript “v” denotes the carbon atom on the cyclopentadienyl ring to which the substituent is bonded and where there can be zero, two or four substituents, S″, on the cyclopentadienyl ring provided that the cyclopentadienyl ring is symmetrically substituted. Symmetrically substituted is defined to mean that the cyclopentadienyl ring is substituted in the 2 and 5 positions and/or 3 and 4 positions with S″ groups that are of approximately of the same steric bulk. Typically the size of these S″ groups are within 2 carbons of each other. Thus a cyclopentadienyl substituted at the 2 and the 5 positions with methyl and ethyl respectively, or substituted at the 3 and the 4 positions with hexyl and octyl, respectively, would be considered symmetric. Likewise, the cyclopentadienyl ring may be substituted at all four sites with S″ groups and be considered symmetric as long as each of the symmetrical pairs are of similar steric bulk. Additionally, two adjacent S″-groups in the 3 and 4 position may be linked to form a ring provided that the new ring is also symmetrically substituted.
 
     Catalyst systems of this type are known to impart 2,1-mistakes when incorporating C3 and higher α-olefins. The pre-catalysts where S′ is bonded to the nitrogen ligand (J) via a 3° carbon (for example when S′ is tert-butyl or 1-adamantyl) have fewer 2,1-mistakes then when S′ is bonded to the nitrogen ligand (J) via a 1° carbon (for example when S′ is n-butyl, methyl, or benzyl) or 2° carbon (for example when S′ is cyclododecyl, cyclohexyl, or sec-butyl). The 2,1-mistakes in the polymer backbone impart (CH 2 ) 2  units that can be beneficial to the polymer properties. Polymers of this type, the characterization of such polymers and the catalyst systems used to produce such polymers are described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,723,560 and is incorporated herein by reference. Lower Mw versions of such polymers can be produced by changing process condition, for example, by increasing reactor temperature.

     The most preferred species are: dimethylsilyl(tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)(cyclododecylamido)titanium dichloride, dimethylsilyl(tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)(t-butylamido)titanium dichloride, dimethylsilyl(tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)(cyclohexylamido)titanium dichloride, dimethylsilyl(tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)(1-adamantylamido)titanium dichloride, dimethylsilyl(tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)(exo-2-norbornylamido)titanium dichloride, dimethylsilyl(tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)(cyclododecylamido)titanium dimethyl, dimethylsilyl(tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)(t-butylamido)titanium dimethyl, dimethylsilyl(tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)(cyclohexylamido)titanium dimethyl, dimethylsilyl(tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)(1-adamantylamido)titanium dimethyl, and dimethylsilyl(tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)(exo-2-norbornylamido)titanium dimethyl. 
     Additionally, at higher reaction temperatures, some catalysts that produce syndiotactic poly-α-olefin at lower temperatures, will produce virtually non-crystalline poly-α-olefins at higher temperatures. The choice of transition metal component for this amorphous polymer fraction is a subset of the transition metal component of equations 8–9. Preferred components of this type are illustrated in equation 19: 
                         
wherein A′, M, X 1  and X 2  are as previously defined. Substituents S″ v  and S′″ v  are independently defined as S″ in equations 8–9 where the subscript “v” denotes the carbon atom on the Cp-ring or Flu-ring (fluorenyl-ring) to which the substituent is bonded.
 
     Preferably metallocene precursors for producing poly-α-olefins having largely amorphous character (when used as catalysts under higher reactor temperature conditions) are those of Equation 19 where S′″ v  are independently chosen such that the metallocene framework has a plane of symmetry containing the metal center and bisecting the Flu- and Cp-rings. The A′ ligand need not be symmetrical—for example dimethylsilyl or methylphenylsilyl will not effect the stereochemisty of the polymer produced. Substituent S′″ v  is defined to be the same as S″ in equation 8–9 where the subscript “v” denotes the carbon atom on the cyclopentadienyl ring to which the substituent is bonded and where there can be zero, two or four substituents, S′″, on the cyclopentadienyl ring provided that the cyclopentadienyl ring is symmetrically substituted. Symmetrically substituted is defined to mean that the cyclopentadienyl ring is substituted in the 2 and 5 positions and/or 3 and 4 positions with S′″ groups that are of approximately of the same steric bulk. Typically the size of these S′″ groups are within 2 carbons of each other. Thus a cyclopentadienyl substituted at the 2 and the 5 positions with methyl and ethyl respectively, or substituted at the 3 and the 4 positions with hexyl and octyl, respectively, would be considered symmetric. Likewise, the cyclopentadienyl ring may be substituted at all four sites with S′″ groups and be considered symmetric as long as each of the symmetrical pairs are of similar steric bulk. Additionally, two adjacent S′″-groups in the 3 and 4 position may be linked to form a ring provided that the new ring is also symmetrically substituted. Because of the distant placement of the S″ v  substituents on the fluorenyl ring, these substitutents need not be symmetrically placed on the fluorenyl ring. Hence, the fluorenyl ring may be substituted with form 0–7 substituents that may be the same or different. Two or more adjacent S″-groups may optionally be linked to form a ring.

In this case, S″ v  are independently chosen such that the metallocene framework has a plane of symmetry that bisects M and A′. Substituents S″ v  are independently defined to be the same as S″ in equation 8–9 where the subscript “v” denotes the carbon atom on the cyclopentadienyl ring to which the substituent is bonded and where there can be zero to four substituents, S″, on the cyclopentadienyl ring provided that the cyclopentadienyl ring is symmetrically substituted. Symmetrically substituted is defined to mean that the cyclopentadienyl ring is substituted in the 2 and 2′positions and/or 3 and 3′ positions and/or 4 and 4′ positions and/or 5 and 5′ positions with S″ groups that are of approximately of the same steric bulk. Typically the size of these S″ groups are within 2 carbons of each other. Thus a cyclopentadienyl substituted at the 2 and the 2′ positions with methyl and ethyl respectively, or substituted at the 3 and the 3′ positions with hexyl and octyl, respectively, would be considered symmetric. Likewise, the cyclopentadienyl ring may be substituted at all four sites with S″ groups and be considered symmetric as long as each of the symmetrical pairs are of similar steric bulk. Additionally, two adjacent S″-groups may be linked to form a ring provided that the new ring is also symmetrically substituted. Such complexes such as meso-Me 2 Si(indenyl) 2 ZrMe 2  meso-CH 2 CH 2 (indenyl) 2 ZrCl 2  are well known in the art and generally produce amorphous polymers useful in this invention.

     When two transition metal compound based catalysts are used in one reactor as a mixed catalyst system, the two transition metal compounds should be chosen such that the two are compatible. A simple screening method such as by  1 H or  13 C NMR, known to those of ordinary skill in the art, can be used to determine which transition metal compounds are compatible. 
     It is preferable to use the same activator for the transition metal compounds, however, two different activators, such as a non-coordinating anion activator and an alumoxane, can be used in combination. If one or more transition metal compounds contain an X 1  or X 2  ligand which is not a hydride, hydrocarbyl, or substituted hydrocarbyl, then the alumoxane should be contacted with the transition metal compounds prior to addition of the non-coordinating anion activator.

     The two transition metal compounds (pre-catalysts) may be used in any ratio. Preferred molar ratios of (A) transition metal compound to produce amorphous polymer to (B) transition metal compound to produce crystalline polymer fall within the range of (A:B) 1:1000 to 1000:1, alternatively 1:100 to 500:1, alternatively 1:10 to 200:1, alternatively 1:1 to 100:1, and alternatively 1:1 to 75:1, and alternatively 5:1 to 50:1. The particular ratio chosen will depend on the exact pre-catalysts chosen, the method of activation, and the end product desired. In a particular embodiment, when using the two pre-catalysts (A—“amorphous polymer producing precatalyst” and B—“crystalline polymer producing catalyst”), where both are activated with the same activator, the preferred mole percents, based upon the molecular weight of the pre-catalysts, are 10 to 99.9% A to 0.1 to 90% B, alternatively 25 to 99% A to 0.5 to 50% B, alternatively 50 to 99% A to 1 to 25% B, and alternatively 75 to 99% A to 1 to 10% B. 
     In general the combined pre-catalyst compounds and the activator are combined in ratios of about 1:10,000 to about 10:1. When alumoxane or aluminum alkyl activators are used, the combined pre-catalyst-to-activator molar ratio is from 1:5000 to 10:1, alternatively from 1:1000 to 10:1; alternatively, 1:500 to 2:1; or 1:300 to 1:1. When ionizing activators are used, the combined pre-catalyst-to-activator molar ratio is from 10:1 to 1:10; 5:1 to 1:5; 2:1 to 1:2; or 1.2:1 to 1:1. Multiple activators may be used, including using mixes of alumoxanes or aluminum alkyls with ionizing activators. 
     In another preferred embodiment a third catalyst (pre-catalyst plus activator) is present in the processes described above. The third catalyst may be any of the pre-catalyst components listed herein. Preferred third pre-catalysts include those that are capable of producing waxes. Preferred examples include:

     Three transition metal compounds (pre-catalysts) may be used in any ratio. Preferred molar ratios of (A) transition metal compound to produce amorphous polypropylene to (B) transition metal compound to produce crystalline polypropylene to (C) transition metal compound to produce wax fall within the range of (A:B:C) 1:1000:500 to 1000:1:1, alternatively 1:100:50 to 500:1:1, alternatively 1:10:10 to 200:1:1, alternatively 1:1:1 to 100:1:50, and alternatively 1:1:10 to 75:1:50, and alternatively 5:1:1 to 50:1:50. The particular ratio chosen will depend on the exact pre-catalysts chosen, the method of activation, and the end product desired. 
     Additional preferred catalysts and process are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,376,410 and 6,380,122, which are incorporated by reference herein. 
     In another embodiment the catalyst compositions of this invention include a support material or carrier. For example, the one or more catalyst components and/or one or more activators may be deposited on, contacted with, vaporized with, bonded to, or incorporated within, adsorbed or absorbed in, or on, one or more supports or carriers. 
     The support material is any of the conventional support materials. Preferably the supported material is a porous support material, for example, talc, inorganic oxides and inorganic chlorides. Other support materials include resinous support materials such as polystyrene, functionalized or crosslinked organic supports, such as polystyrene divinyl benzene polyolefins or polymeric compounds, zeolites, clays, or any other organic or inorganic support material and the like, or mixtures thereof. 
     The preferred support materials are inorganic oxides that include those Group 2, 3, 4, 5, 13 or 14 metal oxides. The preferred supports include silica, which may or may not be dehydrated, fumed silica, alumina (WO 99/60033), silica-alumina and mixtures thereof. Other useful supports include magnesia, titania, zirconia, magnesium chloride (U.S. Pat. No. 5,965,477), montmorillonite (European Patent EP-B1 0 511 665), phyllosilicate, zeolites, talc, clays (U.S. Pat. No. 6,034,187) and the like. Also, combinations of these support materials may be used, for example, silica-chromium, silica-alumina, silica-titania and the like. Additional support materials may include those porous acrylic polymers described in EP 0 767 184 B1, which is incorporated herein by reference. Other support materials include nanocomposites as described in PCT WO 99/47598, aerogels as described in WO 99/48605, spherulites as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,972,510 and polymeric beads as described in WO 99/50311, which are all herein incorporated by reference. 
     It is preferred that the support material, most preferably an inorganic oxide, has a surface area in the range of from about 10 to about 700 m 2 /g, pore volume in the range of from about 0.1 to about 4.0 cc/g and average particle size in the range of from about 5 to about 500 μm. More preferably, the surface area of the support material is in the range of from about 50 to about 500 m 2 /g, pore volume of from about 0.5 to about 3.5 cc/g and average particle size of from about 10 to about 200 μm. Most preferably the surface area of the support material is in the range is from about 100 to about 400 m 2 /g, pore volume from about 0.8 to about 3.0 cc/g and average particle size is from about 5 to about 100 μm. The average pore size of the carrier useful in the invention typically has pore size in the range of from 10 to 1000 Å, preferably 50 to about 500 Å, and most preferably 75 to about 350 Å. 
     As is well known in the art, the catalysts may also be supported together on one inert support, or the catalysts may be independently placed on two inert supports and subsequently mixed. Of the two methods, the former is preferred. 
     In another embodiment the support may comprise one or more types of support material which may be treated differently. For example one could use tow different silicas that had different proe volumes or had been calcined at different temperatures. Likewise one could use a silica tht had been treated with a scavenger or other additive and a silica that had not. 
     The stereospecific catalysts may be used to prepare macromonomer having a Mw of 100,000 or less and a crystallinity of 30% or more preferably having vinyl termini. As a specific example, a method for preparing propylene-based macromonomers having a high percentage of vinyl terminal bonds involves:
     a) contacting, in solution, propylene, optionally a minor amount of copolymerizable monomer, with a catalyst composition containing the stereorigid, activated transition metal catalyst compound at a temperature from about 80° C. to about 140° C.; and   b) recovering isotactic or syndiotactic polypropylene chains having number average molecular weights of about 2,000 to about 30,000 Daltons.
 
Preferably, the solution comprises a hydrocarbon solvent. More preferably, the hydrocarbon solvent is aliphatic or aromatic. Also, the propylene monomers are preferably contacted at a temperature from 90° C. to 120° C. More preferably, a temperature from 95° C. to 115° C. is used. Most preferably, the propylene monomers are contacted at a temperature from 100° C. to 110° C. Reactor pressure generally can vary from atmospheric to 345 MPa, preferably to 182 MPa. The reactions can be run in batch or in continuous mode. Conditions for suitable slurry-type reactions will also be suitable and are similar to solution conditions, the polymerization typically being run in liquid propylene under pressures suitable to such.
   

     The catalyst pair selection criteria were discussed earlier. One catalyst typically is stereospecific with the ability to produce significant population of vinyl-terminated macromonomers, the other typically is aspecific and capable of incorporating the reactive macromonomers. In general it is believed that C2 symmetric bulky ligand metallocene catalysts can produce vinyl terminated isotactic polypropylene macromonomers. Catalysts that favor betamethyl-elimination also often appear to also favor isotactic polypropylene macromonomer formation. Rac-dimethylsilyl bis(indenyl)hafnium dimethyl, dimethylsilyl bis(2-methyl-4-phenylindenyl)zirconium dichloride, and rac-ethylene bis(4,7-dimethylindenyl)hafnium dimethyl are catalysts capable of producing isotactic polypropylene having high vinyl chain termination for use in this invention. High temperatures, typically above 80° C., appear to positively influence vinyl termination. Likewise, Me 2 Si(Me 4 C 5 )(N-c-C 12 H 23 )TiMe 2  and Me 2 Si(Me 4 C 5 )(N-c-C 12 H 23 )TiMe 2  produce amorphous polypropylene useful in this invention and are believed to incorporate the vinyl terminated macromonomers to also produce a grafted structure of scPP side chains on an amorphous backbone. 
     In alternate embodiments dienes such as 1,9-decadiene are introduced into the reaction zone to promote the production of vinyl-terminated aPP and scPP macromonomers that help increase the population of branch-block species. 
     Polymerization Processes 
     The catalysts and catalyst systems described above are suitable for use in a solution, bulk, gas or slurry polymerization process or a combination thereof, preferably solution phase or bulk phase polymerization process. 
     In one embodiment, this invention is directed toward the solution, bulk, slurry or gas phase polymerization reactions involving the polymerization of one or more of monomers having from 3 to 30 carbon atoms, preferably 3–12 carbon atoms, and more preferably 3 to 8 carbon atoms. Preferred monomers include one or more of propylene, butene-1, pentene-1,4-methyl-pentene-1, hexene-1, octene-1, decene-1,3-methyl-pentene-1, and cyclic olefins or a combination thereof. Other monomers can include vinyl monomers, diolefins such as dienes, polyenes, norbornene, norbornadiene, vinyl norbornene, ethylidene norbornene monomers. Preferably a homopolymer or copolymer of propylene is produced. In another embodiment, both a homopolymer of propylene and a copolymer of propylene and one or more of the monomers listed above are produced. 
     One or more reactors in series or in parallel may be used in the present invention. Catalyst component and activator may be delivered as a solution or slurry, either separately to the reactor, activated in-line just prior to the reactor, or preactivated and pumped as an activated solution or slurry to the reactor. A preferred operation is two solutions activated in-line. For more information on methods to introduce multiple catalsyts into reactors, please see U.S. Pat. No. 6,399,722, and WO0130862A1. While these references may emphasize gas phase reactors, the techniques described are equally applicable to other types of reactors, including continuous stirred tank reactors, slurry loop reactors and the like. Polymerizations are carried out in either single reactor operation, in which monomer, comonomers, catalyst/activator, scavenger, and optional modifiers are added continuously to a single reactor or in series reactor operation, in which the above components are added to each of two or more reactors connected in series. The catalyst components can be added to the first reactor in the series. The catalyst component may also be added to both reactors, with one component being added to first reaction and another component to other reactors. 
     In one embodiment 500 ppm or less of hydrogen is added to the polymerization, or 400 ppm or less, or 300 ppm or less. In other embodiments at least 50 ppm of hydrogen is added to the polymerization, or 100 ppm or more, or 150 ppm or more. 
     Gas Phase Polymerization 
     Generally, in a fluidized gas bed process used for producing polymers, a gaseous stream containing one or more monomers is continuously cycled through a fluidized bed in the presence of a catalyst under reactive conditions. The gaseous stream is withdrawn from the fluidized bed and recycled back into the reactor. Simultaneously, polymer product is withdrawn from the reactor and fresh monomer is added to replace the polymerized monomer. (See for example U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,543,399, 4,588,790, 5,028,670, 5,317,036, 5,352,749, 5,405,922, 5,436,304, 5,453,471, 5,462,999, 5,616,661 and 5,668,228 all of which are fully incorporated herein by reference.) 
     Slurry Phase Polymerization 
     A slurry polymerization process generally operates between 1 to about 50 atmosphere pressure range (15 psi to 735 psi, 103 kPa to 5068 kPa) or even greater and temperatures in the range of 0° C. to about 120° C. In a slurry polymerization, a suspension of solid, particulate polymer is formed in a liquid polymerization diluent medium to which monomer and comonomers along with catalyst are added. The suspension including diluent is intermittently or continuously removed from the reactor where the volatile components are separated from the polymer and recycled, optionally after a distillation, to the reactor. The liquid diluent employed in the polymerization medium is typically an alkane having from 3 to 7 carbon atoms, preferably a branched alkane. The medium employed should be liquid under the conditions of polymerization and relatively inert. When a propane medium is used the process must be operated above the reaction diluent critical temperature and pressure. Preferably, a hexane or an isobutane medium is employed. 
     In one embodiment, a preferred polymerization technique useful in the invention is referred to as a particle form polymerization, or a slurry process where the temperature is kept below the temperature at which the polymer goes into solution. Such technique is well known in the art, and described in for instance U.S. Pat. No. 3,248,179 which is fully incorporated herein by reference. The preferred temperature in the particle form process is within the range of about 85° C. to about 110° C. Two preferred polymerization methods for the slurry process are those employing a loop reactor and those utilizing a plurality of stirred reactors in series, parallel, or combinations thereof. Non-limiting examples of slurry processes include continuous loop or stirred tank processes. Also, other examples of slurry processes are described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,613,484, which is herein fully incorporated by reference. 
     In another embodiment, the slurry process is carried out continuously in a loop reactor. The catalyst, as a slurry in isobutane or as a dry free flowing powder, is injected regularly to the reactor loop, which is itself filled with circulating slurry of growing polymer particles in a diluent of isobutane containing monomer and comonomer. Hydrogen, optionally, may be added as a molecular weight control. (In one embodiment 500 ppm or less of hydrogen is added, or 400 ppm or less or 300 ppm or less. In other embodiments at least 50 ppm of hydrogen is added, or 100 ppm or more, or 150 ppm or more.) 
     The reactor is maintained at a pressure of 3620 kPa to 4309 kPa and at a temperature in the range of about 60° C. to about 104° C. depending on the desired polymer melting characterisitcs. Reaction heat is removed through the loop wall since much of the reactor is in the form of a double-jacketed pipe. The slurry is allowed to exit the reactor at regular intervals or continuously to a heated low pressure flash vessel, rotary dryer and a nitrogen purge column in sequence for removal of the isobutane diluent and all unreacted monomer and comonomers. The resulting hydrocarbon free powder is then compounded for use in various applications. 
     In another embodiment, the reactor used in the slurry process useful in the invention is capable of and the process useful in the invention is producing greater than 2000 lbs of polymer per hour (907 Kg/hr), more preferably greater than 5000 lbs/hr (2268 Kg/hr), and most preferably greater than 10,000 lbs/hr (4540 Kg/hr). In another embodiment the slurry reactor used in the process useful in the invention is producing greater than 15,000 lbs of polymer per hour (6804 Kg/hr), preferably greater than 25,000 lbs/hr (11,340 Kg/hr) to about 100,000 lbs/hr (45,500 Kg/hr). 
     In another embodiment in the slurry process useful in the invention the total reactor pressure is in the range of from 400 psig (2758 kPa) to 800 psig (5516 kPa), preferably 450 psig (3103 kPa) to about 700 psig (4827 kPa), more preferably 500 psig (3448 kPa) to about 650 psig (4482 kPa), most preferably from about 525 psig (3620 kPa) to 625 psig (4309 kPa). 
     In yet another embodiment in the slurry process useful in the invention the concentration of predominant monomer in the reactor liquid medium is in the range of from about 1 to 10 weight percent, preferably from about 2 to about 7 weight percent, more preferably from about 2.5 to about 6 weight percent, most preferably from about 3 to about 6 weight percent. 
     Another process useful in the invention is where the process, preferably a slurry process is operated in the absence of or essentially free of any scavengers, such as triethylaluminum, trimethylaluminum, tri-isobutylaluminum and tri-n-hexylaluminum and diethyl aluminum chloride, dibutyl zinc and the like. This process is described in PCT publication WO 96/08520 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,712,352, which are herein fully incorporated by reference. 
     In another embodiment the process is run with scavengers. Typical scavengers include trimethyl aluminum, tri-isobutyl aluminum and an excess of alumoxane or modified alumoxane. 
     Homgeneous, Bulk, or Solution Phase Polymerization 
     The catalysts described herein can be used advantageously in homogeneous solution processes. Generally this involves polymerization in a continuous reactor in which the polymer formed and the starting monomer and catalyst materials supplied, are agitated to reduce or avoid concentration gradients. Suitable processes operate above the melting point of the polymers at high pressures, from 1 to 3000 bar (10–30,000 MPa), in which the monomer acts as diluent or in solution polymerization using a solvent. 
     Temperature control in the reactor is obtained by balancing the heat of polymerization with reactor cooling by reactor jackets or cooling coils to cool the contents of the reactor, auto refrigeration, pre-chilled feeds, vaporization of liquid medium (diluent, monomers or solvent) or combinations of all three. Adiabatic reactors with pre-chilled feeds may also be used. The reactor temperature depends on the catalyst used. In general, the reactor temperature preferably can vary between about 30° C. and about 160° C., more preferably from about 90° C. to about 150° C., and most preferably from about 100° C. to about 140° C. Polymerization temperature may vary depending on catalyst choice. For example a diimine Ni catalyst may be used at 40° C., while a metallocene Ti catalyst can be used at 100° C. or more. In series operation, the second reactor temperature is preferably higher than the first reactor temperature. In parallel reactor operation, the temperatures of the two reactors are independent. The pressure can vary from about 1 mm Hg to 2500 bar (25,000 MPa), preferably from 0.1 bar to 1600 bar (1–16,000 MPa), most preferably from 1.0 to 500 bar (10–5000 MPa). 
     In one embodiment 500 ppm or less of hydrogen is added to the polymerization, or 400 ppm or less or 300 ppm or less. In other embodiments at least 50 ppm of hydrogen is added to the polymerization, or 100 ppm or more, or 150 ppm or more. 
     Each of these processes may also be employed in single reactor, parallel or series reactor configurations. The liquid processes comprise contacting olefin monomers with the above described catalyst system in a suitable diluent or solvent and allowing said monomers to react for a sufficient time to produce the desired polymers. Hydrocarbon solvents are suitable, both aliphatic and aromatic. Alkanes, such as hexane, pentane, isopentane, and octane, are preferred. 
     The process can be carried out in a continuous stirred tank reactor, batch reactor or plug flow reactor, or more than one reactor operated in series or parallel. These reactors may have or may not have internal cooling or heating and the monomer feed may or may not be refrigerated. See the general disclosure of U.S. Pat. No. 5,001,205 for general process conditions. See also, international application WO 96/33227 and WO 97/22639. All documents are incorporated by reference for US purposes for description of polymerization processes, metallocene selection and useful scavenging compounds.

     Applications 
     The polymer product of this invention or formulations thereof may then be applied directly to a substrate or may be sprayed thereon, typically the polymer is molten. Spraying is defined to include atomizing, such as producing an even dot pattern, spiral spraying such as Nordson Controlled Fiberization or oscillating a stretched filament like is done in the ITW Dynafiber/Omega heads or Summit technology from Nordson, as well as melt blown techniques. Melt blown techniques are defined to include the methods described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,145,689 or any process where air streams are used to break up filaments of the extrudate and then used to deposit the broken filaments on a substrate. In general, melt blown techniques are processes that use air to spin hot melt adhesive fibers and convey them onto a substrate for bonding. Fibers sizes can easily be controlled from 20–200 microns by changing the melt to air ratio. Few, preferably no, stray fibers are generated due to the inherent stability of adhesive melt blown applicators. Under UV light the bonding appears as a regular, smooth, stretched dot pattern. Atomization is a process that uses air to atomize hot melt adhesive into very small dots and convey them onto a substrate for bonding.

Characterization and Tests
   

     Molecular weights (number average molecular weight (Mn), weight average molecular weight (Mw), and z-average molecular weight (Mz)) were determined using a Waters 150 Size Exclusion Chromatograph (SEC) equipped with a differential refractive index detector (DRI), an online low angle light scattering (LALLS) detector and a viscometer (VIS). The details of the detector calibrations have been described elsewhere [Reference: T. Sun, P. Brant, R. R. Chance, and W. W. Graessley,  Macromolecules , Volume 34, Number 19, 6812–6820, (2001)]; attached below are brief descriptions of the components. 
     The SEC with three Polymer Laboratories PLgel 10 mm Mixed-B columns, a nominal flow rate 0.5 cm 3 /min, and a nominal injection volume 300 microliters was common to both detector configurations. The various transfer lines, columns and differential refractometer (the DRI detector, used mainly to determine eluting solution concentrations) were contained in an oven maintained at 135° C. 
     The LALLS detector was the model 2040 dual-angle light scattering photometer (Precision Detector Inc.). Its flow cell, located in the SEC oven, uses a 690 nm diode laser light source and collects scattered light at two angles, 15° and 90°. Only the 15° output was used in these experiments. Its signal was sent to a data acquisition board (National Instruments) that accumulates readings at a rate of 16 per second. The lowest four readings were averaged, and then a proportional signal was sent to the SEC-LALLS-VIS computer. The LALLS detector was placed after the SEC columns, but before the viscometer. 
     The viscometer was a high temperature Model 150R (Viscotek Corporation). It consisted of four capillaries arranged in a Wheatstone bridge configuration with two pressure transducers. One transducer measured the total pressure drop across the detector, and the other, positioned between the two sides of the bridge, measured a differential pressure. The specific viscosity for the solution flowing through the viscometer was calculated from their outputs. The viscometer was inside the SEC oven, positioned after the LALLS detector but before the DRI detector. 
     Solvent for the SEC experiment was prepared by adding 6 grams of butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT) as an antioxidant to a 4 liter bottle of 1,2,4 Trichlorobenzene (TCB) (Aldrich Reagent grade) and waiting for the BHT to solubilize. The TCB mixture was then filtered through a 0.7 micron glass pre-filter and subsequently through a 0.1 micron Teflon filter. There was an additional online 0.7 micron glass pre-filter/0.22 micron Teflon filter assembly between the high pressure pump and SEC columns. The TCB was then degassed with an online degasser (Phenomenex, Model DG-4000) before entering the SEC. 
     Polymer solutions were prepared by placing dry polymer in a glass container, adding the desired amount of TCB, then heating the mixture at 160 ° C. with continuous agitation for about 2 hours. All quantities were measured gravimetrically. The TCB densities used to express the polymer concentration in mass/volume units were 1.463 g/ml at room temperature and 1.324 g/ml at 135° C. The injection concentration ranged from 1.0 to 2.0 mg/ml, with lower concentrations being used for higher molecular weight samples. 
     Prior to running each sample the DRI detector and the injector were purged. Flow rate in the apparatus was then increased to 0.5 ml/minute, and the DRI was allowed to stabilize for 8–9 hours before injecting the first sample. The argon ion laser was turned on 1 to 1.5 hours before running samples by running the laser in idle mode for 20–30 minutes and then switching to full power in light regulation mode. 
     The branching index was measured using SEC with an on-line viscometer (SEC-VIS) and are reported as g′ at each molecular weight in the SEC trace. The branching index g′ is defined as:
 
 g′=η   b /η l 
 
where η b  is the intrinsic viscosity of the branched polymer and η l  is the intrinsic viscosity of a linear polymer of the same viscosity-averaged molecular weight (M v ) as the branched polymer. η l =KM v   α , K and α were measured values for linear polymers and should be obtained on the same SEC-DRI-LS-VIS instrument as the one used for branching index measurement. For polypropylene samples presented in this invention, K=0.0002288 and α=0.705 were used. The SEC-DRI-LS-VIS method obviates the need to correct for polydispersities, since the intrinsic viscosity and the molecular weight were measured at individual elution volumes, which arguably contain narrowly dispersed polymer. Linear polymers selected as standards for comparison should be of the same viscosity average molecular weight, monomer content and composition distribution. Linear character for polymer containing C2 to C10 monomers is confirmed by Carbon-13 NMR the method of Randall (Rev. Macromol. Chem. Phys., C29 (2&amp;3), p. 285–297). Linear character for C11 and above monomers is confirmed by GPC analysis using a MALLS detector. For example, for a copolymer of propylene, the NMR should not indicate branching greater than that of the co-monomer (i.e. if the comonmer is butene, branches of greater than two carbons should not be present). For a homopolymer of propylene, the GPC should not show branches of more than one carbon atom. When a linear standard is desired for a polymer where the comomoner is C9 or more, one can refer to T. Sun, P. Brant, R. R. Chance, and W. W. Graessley,  Macromolecules , Volume 34, Number 19, 6812–6820, (2001) for protocols on determining standards for those polymers. In the case of syndiotactic polymers, the standard should have a comparable amount of syndiotacticty as measured by Carbon 13 NMR.
 
     Peak melting point (Tm), peak crystallization temperature (Tc), heat of fusion and crystallinity were determined using the following procedure according to ASTM E 794-85. Differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) data was obtained using a TA Instruments model 2920 machine. Samples weighing approximately 7–10 mg were sealed in aluminum sample pans. The DSC data was recorded by first cooling the sample to −50° C. and then gradually heating it to 200° C. at a rate of 10° C./minute. The sample was kept at 200° C. for 5 minutes before a second cooling-heating cycle was applied. Both the first and second cycle thermal events were recorded. Areas under the melting curves were measured and used to determine the heat of fusion (delta H) and the degree of crystallinity. The percent crystallinity was calculated using the formula, [area under the curve (Joules/gram)/B (Joules/gram)]*100, where B is the heat of fusion for the homopolymer of the major monomer component. These values for B are to be obtained from the Polymer Handbook, Fourth Edition, published by John Wiley and Sons, New York 1999. A value of 189 J/g (B) was used as the heat of fusion for 100% crystalline polypropylene. For polymers displaying multiple melting or crystallization peaks, the highest melting peak was taken as peak melting point, and the highest crystallization peak was taken as peak crystallization temperature. 
     The glass transition temperature (Tg) was measured by ASTM E 1356 using a TA Instruments model 2920 machine. 
     Melt Viscosity (ASTM D-3236) (also called “viscosity”, “Brookfield viscosity”) Melt viscosity profiles were typically measured at temperatures from 120° C. to 190° C. using a Brookfield Thermosel viscometer and a number 27 spindle. 
     General Procedure of Polymerization 
     Polymerization was performed in a series dual-reactor continuous solution process. Both of the reactors were a 0.5-liter stainless steel autoclave reactor and were equipped with a stirrer, a water-cooling/steam-heating element with a temperature controller, and a pressure controller. Solvents, monomers such as ethylene and propylene, and comonomers (such as butene and hexene), if present, were first purified by passing through a three-column purification system. The purification system consisted of an Oxiclear column (Model # RGP-R1-500 from Labclear) followed by a 5A and a 3A molecular sieve columns. Purification columns were regenerated periodically whenever there was evidence of lower activity of polymerization. Both the 3A and 5A molecular sieve columns were regenerated in-house under nitrogen at a set temperature of 260° C. and 315° C., respectively. The molecular sieve material was purchased from Aldrich. Oxiclear column was regenerated in the original manufacture. 
     The solvent feed to the reactors was measured by a mass-flow meter. A Pulsafeed pump controlled the solvent flow rate and increased the solvent pressure to the reactors. The compressed, liquified propylene feed was measured by a mass flow meter and the flow was controlled by a variable speed pump. The monomers were fed into the reactor through pulse pump (&gt;5 ml/minute) or Eldex pump (&lt;5 ml/minute) and the flow rates were measured using Brooksfield mass flow meters or Micro-Motion Coriolis-type flow meters. The solvent, monomers and comonomers were fed into a manifold first. Ethylene from in-house supply was delivered as a gas solubilized in the chilled solvent/monomer mixture in the manifold. The mixture of solvent and monomers were then chilled to about −15° C. by passing through a chiller prior to feeding into the reactor through a single tube. Ethylene flow rate was metered through a Brookfield mass flow controller. A mass flow controller was used to deliver hydrogen into the reactor. 
     The content of the first reactor flowed into the second reactor. The exit of the first reactor was connected by an insulated tubing to a second reactor similarly equipped to the first, with a provision for independent catalyst and cocatalyst addition, and additional monomer, hydrogen, solvent addition and reaction temperature control. After the polymer solution stream exited the second reactor, polymerization was stopped with the addition of a small amount of water. 
     The catalyst compounds used to produce semi-crystalline polypropylene were rac-dimethylsilylbis(2-methyl-4-phenylindenyl)zirconium dimethyl (obtained from Albemarle) and rac-1,2-ethylene-bis(4,7-dimethylindenyl)hafnium dimethyl (obtained from Boulder Scientific Company). 
     The catalyst compounds used to produce amorphous polypropylene were, dimethylsilyl(tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)(cyclododecylamido)titanium dimethyl (obtained from Albemarle) and [di(p-triethylsilylphenyl)methylene](cyclopentadienyl) (3,8-di-t-butylfluorenyl)hafnium dimethyl (obtained from Albemarle). 
     The catalysts were preactivated with N,N-dimethylanilinium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate (obtained from Albemarle) at a molar ratio of 1:1 to 1:1.1 in 700 ml of toluene at least 10 minutes prior to the polymerization reaction. The catalyst systems were diluted to a concentration of catalyst ranging from 0.2 to 1.4 mg/ml in toluene. All catalyst solutions were kept in an inert atmosphere with &lt;1.5 ppm water content and fed into reactors by metering pumps. The catalyst solution was used for all polymerization runs carried out in the same day. New batch of catalyst solution was prepared when more than 700 ml of catalyst solution was consumed in one day. 
     When multiple catalysts were utilized in one reactor, each catalyst solution was pumped through separate lines, and then mixed in a manifold, and fed into the reactor through a single line. The connecting tube between the catalyst manifold and reactor inlet was about one meter long. The contact of catalyst, solvent and monomers took place in the reactor. Catalyst pumps were calibrated periodically using toluene as the calibrating medium. Catalyst concentration in the feed was controlled through changing the catalyst concentration in catalyst solution and/or changing in the feed rate of catalyst solution. The feed rate of catalyst solution varied in a range of 0.2 to 5 ml/minute. 
     As an impurity scavenger, 250 ml of tri-n-octylaluminum (TNOA) (25 wt. % in toluene, Akzo Noble) was diluted in 22.83 kilogram of hexane. The diluted TNOA solution was stored in a 37.9-liter cylinder under nitrogen blanket. The solution was used for all polymerization runs until about 90% of consumption, and then a new batch was prepared. Feed rates of the tri-n-octylaluminum (TNOA) solution varied from polymerization reaction to reaction, ranging from 0 (no scavenger) to 4 ml per minutes in order to optimize the overall catalyst efficiency. 
     For polymerization reactions involving alpha, omega-dienes, 1,9-decadiene was diluted to a concentration ranging from 4.8 to 9.5 vol. % in toluene. The diluted solution was then fed into the reactor by a metering pump through a comonomer line. The 1,9-decadiene was obtained from Aldrich and was purified by first passing through alumina activated at high temperature under nitrogen, followed by molecular sieve activated at high temperature under nitrogen. 
     The reactors were first cleaned by continuously pumping solvent (e.g., hexane) and scavenger through the reactor system for at least one hour at a maximum allowed temperature (about 150° C.). After cleaning, the reactors were heated/cooled to the desired temperature using water/steam mixture flowing through the reactor jacket and controlled at a set pressure with controlled solvent flow. Monomers and catalyst solutions were then fed into the reactor. An automatic temperature control system was used to control and to maintain the reactors at set temperatures. Onset of polymerization activity was determined by observations of a viscous product and lower temperature of water-steam mixture. Once the activity was established and system reached steady state, the reactors were lined out by continuing operating the system under the established condition for a time period of at least five times of mean residence time prior to sample collection. The resulting mixture from the second reactor, containing mostly solvent, polymer and unreacted monomers, was collected in a collection box. The collected samples were first air-dried in a hood to evaporate most of the solvent, and then dried in a vacuum oven at a temperature of about 90° C. for about 12 hours. The vacuum oven dried samples were weighed to obtain yields. All the reactions were carried out at a pressure of about 2.41 MPa-g and in the temperature range of 70 to 130° C. 
     EXAMPLE 1a–1f 
     These examples demonstrate a series dual-reactor continuous solution process with the use of rac-dimethylsilyl bis(2-methyl-4-phenylindenyl)zirconium dimethyl catalyst (Catalyst A) (obtained from Albemarle) in the first reactor to produce isotactic polypropylene and [di(p-triethylsilylphenyl)methylene](cyclopentadienyl) (3,8-di-t-butylfluorenyl)hafnium dimethyl catalyst (Catalyst B) (obtained from Albemarle) in the second reactor to produce amorphous polypropylene. Molecular weight of the isotactic polypropylene was controlled using reaction temperature and molecular weight of the amorphous polypropylene was adjusted through the addition of hydrogen as a molecular weight control agent. Propylene, solvent, catalyst A solution and scavenger were fed into the first reactor. The content of the first reactor flows into the second reactor. Catalyst B solution and hydrogen were fed into the second reactor. The general procedure described above was followed, and the detailed reaction condition and polymer properties are listed in Table 1.

     EXAMPLE 2a–2f 
     These examples demonstrate a series dual-reactor continuous solution process with the use of rac-dimethylsilyl bis(2-methyl-4-phenylindenyl)zirconium dimethyl catalyst (Catalyst A) in the first reactor to produce isotactic polypropylene and [di(p-triethylsilylphenyl)methylene](cyclopentadienyl) (3,8-di-t-butylfluorenyl)hafnium dimethyl catalyst (Catalyst B) in the second reactor to produce propylene/ethylene copolymer. Propylene, solvent, catalyst A solution and scavenger were fed into the first reactor. The content of the first reactor flows into the second reactor. Ethylene and catalyst B solution were fed into the second reactor. The crystallinity of ethylene/propylene copolymers was adjusted through propylene conversion in the first reactor and amount of ethylene fed into the second reactor. Sufficient ethylene fed rate is required in order to produce amorphous ethylene/propylene copolymer. The general procedure described above was followed, and the detailed reaction condition and polymer properties are listed in Table 2.

     EXAMPLE 4a–4e 
     These examples demonstrated a series dual-reactor continuous solution process with the use of [di(p-triethylsilylphenyl)methylene](cyclopentadienyl) (3,8-di-t-butylfluorenyl)hafnium dimethyl catalyst (Catalyst B) in the first reactor to produce ethylene/propylene copolymers and rac-dimethylsilyl bis(2-methyl-4-phenylindenyl)zirconium dimethyl catalyst (Catalyst A) in the second reactor to produce isotactic polypropylene. Catalyst fed rate to the first reactor was adjusted to ensure over 50% propylene conversion in the first reactor. At this propylene conversion, the ethylene conversion was about over 90%. High conversion of ethylene in the first reactor allowed for a more crystalline product to be made in the second reactor. Propylene, ethylene, solvent, catalyst A solution and scavenger were fed into the first reactor. The content of the first reactor flows into the second reactor. Catalyst B solution was fed into the second reactor. The general procedure described above was followed, and the detailed reaction condition and polymer properties are listed in Table 4.

The crystallinity of ethylene/propylene copolymers was adjusted through propylene conversion in the first reactor and amount of ethylene fed into the second reactor. Sufficient ethylene fed rate is required in order to produce amorphous ethylene/propylene copolymer in the second reactor.

     EXAMPLE 6a–6c 
     These examples demonstrate a series dual-reactor continuous process with the use of rac-dimethylsilyl bis(2-methyl-4-phenylindenyl)zirconium dimethyl catalyst (Catalyst A) in the first reactor to produce low molecular weight polyethylene and a mixture of rac-dimethylsilyl bis(2-methyl-4-phenylindenyl)zirconium dimethyl catalyst (Catalyst A) and [di(p-triethylsilylphenyl)methylene](cyclopentadienyl) (3,8-di-t-butylfluorenyl)hafnium dimethyl catalyst (Catalyst B) in the second reactor to produce atactic (aPP) and isotactic polypropylene (iPP) as well as aPP/iPP branch-blocks. Ethylene, solvent, catalyst A solution and scavenger were fed into the first reactor. The content of the first reactor flows into the second reactor. Propylene and catalyst B solution were fed into the second reactor. The catalyst A fed rate was high enough that over 90% of ethylene were converted in the first reactor. The ratio of catalyst A and catalyst B was adjusted to control and aPP/iPP ratio in the second reactor. The general procedure described above was followed, and the detailed reaction condition and polymer properties are listed in Table 6.

Adhesive Testing
 
     A number of hot melt adhesives were prepared by using the neat polymers or blending the neat polymer, functionalized additives, tackifier, wax, antioxidant, and other ingredients under low shear mixing at elevated temperatures to form fluid melt. The mixing temperature varied from about 130 to about 190° C. Adhesive test specimens were created by bonding the substrates together with a dot of molten adhesive and compressing the bond with a 500-gram weight until cooled to room temperature. The dot size was controlled by the adhesive volume such that in most cases the compressed disk which formed gave a uniform circle just inside the dimensions of the substrate. 
     Once a construct has been produced it can be subjected to various insults in order to assess the effectiveness of the bond. Once a bond fails to a paper substrate a simple way to quantify the effectiveness is to estimate the area of the adhesive dot that retained paper fibers as the construct failed along the bond line. This estimate was called percent substrate fiber tear. An example of good fiber, after conditioning a sample for 15 hours at −12° C. and attempting to destroy the bond, would be an estimate of 80–100% substrate fiber tear. It is likely that 0% substrate fiber tear under those conditions would signal a loss of adhesion. 
     Substrate fiber tear: The specimens were prepared using the same procedure as that described above. For low temperature fiber tear test, the bond specimens were placed in a freezer or refrigerator to obtain the desired test temperature. For substrate fiber tear at room temperature, the specimens were aged at ambient conditions. The bonds were separated by hand and a determination made as to the type of failure observed. The amount of substrate fiber tear was expressed in percentage. 
     Dot T-Peel was determined according to ASTM D 1876, except that the specimen was produced by combining two 1 inch by 3 inch (2.54 cm×7.62 cm) substrate cut outs with a dot of adhesive with a volume that, when compressed under a 500-gram weight occupied about 1 square inch of area (1 inch=2.54 cm). Once made all the specimens were pulled apart in side by side testing at a rate of 2 inches per minute by a machine that records the destructive force of the insult being applied. The maximum force achieved for each sample tested was recorded and averaged, thus producing the average maximum force which is reported as the Dot T-Peel. 
     Peel Strength (modified ASTM D1876): Substrates (1×3 inches (25×76 mm)) were heat sealed with adhesive film (5 mils (130 μm) thickness) at 135° C. for 1 to 2 seconds and 40 psi (0.28 MPa) pressure. Bond specimens were peeled back in a tensile tester at a constant crosshead speed of 2 in/min (51 mm/min). The average force required to peel the bond (5 specimens) apart is recorded. 
     Set time is defined as the time it takes for a compressed adhesive substrate construct to fasten together enough to give substrate fiber tear when pulled apart, and thus the bond is sufficiently strong to remove the compression. The bond will likely still strengthen upon further cooling, however, it no longer requires compression. These set times were measured by placing a molten dot of adhesive on to a file folder substrate taped to a flat table. A file folder tab (1 inch by 3 inch (2.5 cm×7.6 cm)) was placed upon the dot 3 seconds later and compressed with a 500 gram weight. The weight was allowed to sit for about 0.5 to about 10 seconds. The construct thus formed was pulled apart to check for a bonding level good enough to produce substrate fiber tear. The set time was recorded as the minimum time required for this good bonding to occur. Standards were used to calibrate the process. 
     SAFT (modified D4498) measures the ability of a bond to withstand an elevated temperature rising at 10° F. (5.5° C.)/15 min., under a constant force that pulls the bond in the shear mode. Bonds were formed in the manner described above on Kraft paper (1 inch by 3 inch (2.5 cm×7.6 cm)). The test specimens were suspended vertically in an oven at room temperature with a 500-gram load attached to the bottom. The temperatures at which the weight fell was recorded (when the occasional sample reached temperatures above the oven capacity &gt;265° F. (129° C.) it was terminated and averaged in with the other samples at termination temperature). 
     Shore A hardness was measured according to ASTM D 2240. An air-cooled dot of adhesive was subjected to the needle and the deflection was recorded from the scale.
