Patent ID: 8664337

Claim:
A film having a thickness greater than 100 microns comprising: a) from 10 to 100 percent by weight of a polyethylene polymer made by the process of: i) selecting a target polyethylene resin having a density, as determined according to ASTM D792, in the range of from 0.90 g/cm 3 to 0.955 g/cm 3 , and a melt index, as determined according to ASTM D1238 (2.16 kg, 190° C.), in the range of from 0.01 g/10 min to 10 g/10 min; ii) reacting said target polyethylene with an alkoxy amine derivative in an amount less than 900 parts derivative per million parts by weight of total polyethylene resin under conditions sufficient to increase the melt strength of the target polyethylene resin; and b) from 0 to 90 percent by weight of a low density polyethylene composition; wherein said target polyethylene has a molecular weight distribution, Mw/Mn, of less than about 5.
