Novel metallocene catalysts for the synthesis of ethylene/α-olefin copolymers are reviewed here. The technology used—single-site constrained geometry catalyst technology—is demonstrated to be useful for the preparation of a wide array of copolymers with unique materials properties, such as a high melt fracture resistance, as illustrated in the Figure.
