There is described a process for producing ethylene/olefin interpolymers
which, for a given melt index and density, have a reduced melting peak
temperature (T.sub.m). The process involves contacting ethylene and at
least one other olefin under polymerization conditions with an olefin
polymerization catalyst and at least one modifier comprising at least one
element from Group 15 and/or Group 16 in amounts sufficient to reduce the
melting peak temperature of the ethylene/olefin interpolymer. Also
described herein are novel ethylene/olefin interpolymers resulting from
the process.
