The present invention relates to a catalyst composition for synthesizing an olefin copolymer, including a first metallocene catalyst, a second metallocene catalyst, and a third metallocene catalyst, each having a specific structure, and a method for preparing an olefin copolymer using the catalyst composition for synthesizing an olefin copolymer.

The present invention relates to a polypropylene which exhibits high transparency and has a very low level of generation of volatile organic compounds, which has a total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) value of 60 g/g or less, which is measured according to VDA 277 standardized by the German Automobile Industry Association by heating the polypropylene for 12 to 5 hours and converting all hydrocarbons detected per 1 g into an acetone content, and a haze value of 5% or less.

The present disclosure provides a method for preparing a supported hybrid metallocene catalyst which can be used to prepare a polyolefin, a supported hybrid metallocene catalyst prepared by using the method, and a method for preparing a polyolefin using the supported hybrid metallocene catalyst.

Disclosed herein are ethylene-based polymers generally characterized by a density from 0.89 to 0.93 g/cm.sup.3, a ratio of Mw/Mn from 3 to 6.5, a Mz from 200,000 to 650,000 g/mol, a CY-a parameter at 190 C. from 0.2 to 0.4, and a reverse short chain branching distribution. The ATREF profile of these polymers can have a high temperature peak from 92 to 102 C., and a low temperature peak from 18 to 36 C. less than that of the high temperature peak. These polymers can have comparable physical properties to that of a metallocene-catalyzed LLDPE, but with improved processability, shear thinning, and melt strength, and can be used in blown film and other end-use applications.

The present invention relates to a catalyst composition comprising: catalyst component A comprising a bridged metallocene compound with two tetrahydroindenyl groups, each group being unsubstituted or substituted; catalyst component B comprising a bridged metallocene compound with a substituted or unsubstituted cyclopentadienyl group and a substituted or unsubstituted fluorenyl group; an optional activator; an optional support; and an optional co-catalyst. The present invention also relates to a polymerization process using said composition. The invention further relates to olefin polymers at least partially catalyzed by said catalyst composition and articles comprising said olefin polymers.

Ethylene-based polymers are characterized by a density from 0.92 to 0.955 g/cm.sup.3, a HLMI of less than 35 g/10 min, and a ratio of a number of short chain branches (SCBs) per 1000 total carbon atoms at Mz to a number of SCBs per 1000 total carbon atoms at Mn in a range from 11.5 to 22. These polymers can have a higher molecular weight (HMW) component and a lower molecular weight (LMW) component, in which a ratio of a number of SCBs per 1000 total carbon atoms at Mn of the HMW component to a number of SCBs per 1000 total carbon atoms at Mn of the LMW component is in a range from 10.5 to 22. These ethylene polymers can be produced using a dual catalyst system containing an unbridged metallocene compound with an indenyl group having at least one halogen-substituted hydrocarbyl substituent with at least two halogen atoms, and a single atom bridged metallocene compound with a fluorenyl group and a cyclopentadienyl group.

A method of preparing a supported metallocene catalyst capable of more effectively preparing a polyolefin which may be preferably used for blow molding, etc., because its molecular weight distribution is such that polymer elasticity is increased to improve swell, is provided.
