Patent attributes
The invention provides a process to form an ethylene-based polymer, said process comprising polymerizing ethylene in the presence of at least one free-radical agent, and in the presence of a “metal alkyl-containing compound” selected from the group consisting of the following: i) at least one “Group II metal alkyl-containing compound,” ii) at least one “Group III metal alkyl-containing compound,” or iii) a combination of i) and ii). The invention also provides a composition comprising at least one ethylene-based polymer, prepared from a free-radical polymerization, and wherein the ethylene-based polymer has the following property: y>0.28567x−0.00032, wherein y=vinyl/1000C, as determined by 1H NMR, and x=mol % polymerized α-olefin, as determined by 13C NMR.
