Abstract

An ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer that can be synthesized in a fluidized-bed, gas phase polymerization reactor and made into a blown film. The ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer is characterized by a bubble stability-effective combination of properties comprising density, melt flow ratio (“I21/I5”), and melt storage modulus G′ (G″=3,000 Pa). The synthesis in the FB-GPP reactor is characterized by a property-imparting-effective combination of operating conditions comprising reactor bed temperature and H2/C2 gas molar ratio. An embodiment of the blown film consisting of the ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer is characterized by enhanced bubble stability. A method of making the ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer. A film comprising the ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer. A method of making the film. A manufactured article comprising the film.
