    Abstract: Processes of synthesizing long-chain branched polymers. The processes include contacting together one or more C 2 -C 14 alkene monomers, at least one diene, optionally a solvent, and a multi-chain catalyst optionally in the presence of hydrogen, wherein the multi-chain catalyst comprises a plurality of polymerization sites; producing at least two polymer chains of the C 2 -C 14 alkene monomers, each polymer chain polymerizing at one of the polymerization sites; synthesizing the long-chain branched polymers by connecting the two polymer chains with the diene, the joining of the two polymer chains being performed in a concerted manner during the polymerization; and producing tri-functional long chain branches and tetra-functional long chain branches from the diene, wherein the long-chain branched polymers have a ratio of tri-functional to tetra-functional long chain branches from 0.05:1 to 100:0; and adjusting the ratio of tri-functional and tetra-functional long chain branches. The diene has a structure according to formula (I):

    Abstract: Ethylene-based polymers comprise reaction products of polymerizing ethylene monomer, at least one diene or polyene comonomer, and optionally at least one C 3 to C 14 comonomer under defined polymerization reaction conditions, the ethylene-based polymer having: an M w /M w0 greater than 1.20. The M w0 is the initial weight-average molecular weight of a comparative ethylene-based polymer by gel permeation chromatography. The comparative ethylene-based polymer being a reaction product of polymerizing ethylene monomer and all C 3 to C 14 comonomers present in the ethylene-based polymer, if any, without the at least one polyene comonomer, under the defined polymerization reaction conditions; and a molecular weight tail quantified by an MWD area metric, A TAIL , and A TAIL is less than or equal to 0.04 as determined by gel permeation chromatography using a triple detector.

    Abstract: The present process embodiments for synthesizing long-chain branched copolymers include contacting together one or more C 2 -C 14 alkene monomers, at least one diene or polyene, optionally a solvent, and a multi-chain catalyst. The multi-chain catalyst includes a plurality of polymerization sites and produces at least two polymer chains of the C 2 -C 14 alkene monomers, each polymer chain polymerizing at one of the polymerization sites. The process synthesizes the long-chain branched polymers by connecting the two polymer chains with the diene or polyene, the joining of the two polymer chains being performed in a concerted manner during the polymerization.
