ETHYLENE COPOLYMER WITH IMPROVED IMPACT RESISTANCE

Provided are ethylene copolymers with excellent impact resistance. More specifically, provided are ethylene copolymers satisfying certain correlation between the falling dart impact strength (F) or high rate impact resistant breakage energy (E) and Vicat softening point. The ethylene copolymers with improved impact properties are applicable to film, injection, compound, sheet, roto, pipe or blow molding. 113.-. (canceled) The present invention relates to ethylene copolymers: more specifically, it relates to ethylene copolymer exhibiting enhanced impact resistance due to alteration of softening point which is an inherent property of the products; and applications of the same.Mechanical properties of polyethylene resins depend on the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution, and the application field is selected accordingly. In general, the higher molecular weight of polyethylene resin provides the better mechanical properties thereof, but polyethylenes with high molecular weight have low fluidity to cause difficulties during the processing. This may result in serious disadvantage in extrusion or injection molding, which requires rapid deformation with high shear rate.Thus studies have been performed on methods for improving mechanical properties of polyethylene product such as impact strength and creep property while maintaining the fluidity of polyethylene product, by copolymerizing ethylene with α-olefins such as 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene and 1-octene. Especially, the market requires the products having high impact resistance, which has been conventionally evaluated by falling dart impact strength or high rate impact strength depending on the process for preparation thereof (whether it is film formation or injection). When copolymerization of ethylene with α-olifin is carried out in order to improve the mechanical strength such as impact resistance as described above, however, rigidity is deterioriated because copolymer with relatively low density is ...
