Abstract

Blends of two or more polyethylenes are made by reacting ethylene with an oligomerization catalyst that forms &agr;-olefins, and two polymerization catalysts, one of which under the process conditions copolymerizes ethylene and &agr;-olefins, and the other of which under process conditions does not readily copolymerize ethylene and &agr;-olefins. The blends may have improved physical properties and/or processing characteristics.
