Abstract

An improved two-step polymerization process wherein ethylene homopolymer is produced in a first reactor and ethylene copolymer having narrowed short-chain branching distribution is prepared in a second reactor. Narrowed short-chain branching distribution of the copolymer is achieved by including specific silane modifiers in the second reactor.
