The present disclosure provides a composition. In an embodiment, the composition includes a neat ethylene/propylene/nonconjugated polyene interpolymer. The neat ethylene/propylene/nonconjugated polyene interpolymer includes from greater than 0 wt % to 6.0 wt % nonconjugated polyene. The neat ethylene/propylene/nonconjugated polyene interpolymer has the following properties: (i) a molecular weight (Mw) from 240,000 to 270,000; (ii) a Mooney viscosity (ML (1+4), 125? C.) from 80 to 85; (iii) a rheology ratio (RR) from 35 to 65; (iv) a Mw/Mn from 2.2 to 3.5; (v) a tan delta ratio from 0.6 to 0.9; and (vi) an absolute tan delta slope from 5.0 to less than 10.0.

Disclosed herein are methods for synthesis of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), with improved disentanglement, for solid-state processing into a product, such as tapes, films, and ropes, etc., with superior mechanical properties. The method includes using a catalyst support which includes MgCl.sub.2 pre-reacted with different alcohols. The MgCl.sub.2/alcohol adducts are reacted with different aluminum alkyls to form nanoparticles support, preferably in-situ, under inert environment in the presence of the monomer used to synthesize the UHMWPE. The resulting heterogeneous catalytic system and polymer synthesis method results in improved UHMWPE with high average molecular weight (Mw)>1 million g/mol, with lower levels of entanglement (while avoiding fouling seen with homogenous catalytic systems), allowing for processing into products such as tapes with superior mechanical properties.

A method of increasing bubble stability of a needful high molecular weight bimodal high-density polyethylene resin in need thereof, the method comprising subjecting the needful high molecular weight bimodal high-density polyethylene resin to a determined amount of oxygen tailoring of the resin so as to independently increase both the resin's melt storage modulus G (at G=3000 pascals) and complex viscosity ratio SH1000, and thereby make an oxygen-tailored high molecular weight bimodal high-density polyethylene resin having a targeted increase in bubble stability. The method uses a tailoring effective amount of molecular oxygen (O.sub.2) to achieve the desired oxygen tailoring. The method uses these advanced rheological properties from dynamic mechanical spectroscopy, but analyzes the data in a different way that is more sensitive to changes in resin composition and properties, and yet achieves a resin regime having a targeted increase in bubble stability.
