A main purpose of the present invention is to provide a multi-block copolymer composition having good elasticity and excellent stress relaxation properties, as well as small tension set. The present invention achieves the purpose by providing a multi-block copolymer composition obtained by a modification treatment, the composition including a block copolymer B formed by introducing a functional group capable of forming a non-covalent bond to a block copolymer A; wherein the block copolymer A includes a block copolymer A1 having a specific primary structure and a block copolymer A2 having a specific primary structure, and the mass ratio (A1/A2) of the block copolymer A1 and the block copolymer A2 is 100/0 to 50/50.

The present invention is directed to a multimodal polyethylene copolymer comprising a first and a second copolymer of ethylene and at least two alpha-olefin comonomers. Such multimodal copolymers are highly suitable for conversion processes that require a high Draw Down Ratio, like the production of thin films. Such multimodal polyethylene copolymers provide a good impact strength in the sense of a high Dart drop impact strength (DDI) and good isotropy of the films produces thereof. The invention further presents final articles such as films made therefrom.
