Abstract:
Ethylene-based polymer is made by a process comprising polymerizing a reaction mixture comprising ethylene and at least one chain transfer agent system; wherein the polymerization takes place in the presence of at least one free-radical initiator; and wherein the polymerization takes place in a reactor configuration comprising at least one tubular reactor with at least three reaction zones; and wherein at least two reaction zones receive an ethylene feed; and wherein the degree of polymerization in the first reaction zone is less than, or equal to, (5/LCBf)*3150; and wherein the ethylene-based polymer formed by the process comprises the following properties: (A) LCBf≥(4.7+0.5*log(I2)); and (B) I2 from 0.2 to 25 dg/min.
