Patent ID: 7741415

Claim:
An ethylene homo or copolymer prepared in a high pressure radical initiated process using a chain transfer agent selected from the group consisting of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons, wherein the homo or copolymer is characterized as having long chain branching and having a molecular weight distribution, Mw/Mn, and a GPC-LALLS CDF, which satisfies the following relationship: y≧0.0663x−0.015, wherein y=GPC-LALLS CDF and x=Mw/Mn measured by conventional GPC; wherein a line drawn from where the LS chromatogram intersects with molecular weight 350,000 and molecular weight 1,150,000 has a positive slope; and wherein a film comprising the ethylene homo or copolymer has a microgel content of less than or equal to 3000 count, where microgels are defined as being in the range of 200-400 micron diameter gels per 50,000 square inches of film area.
