This invention relates to olefin polymers particularly suited to
satisfying the dielectric properties required in electrical device use.
The olefin polymers can be prepared by contacting polymerizable olefin
monomers with catalyst complexes of Group 3 11 metal cations and
noncoordinating or weakly coordinating anion compounds bound directly to
the surfaces of finely divided substrate particles or to polymer chains
capable of effective suspension or solvation in polymerization solvents
or diluents under solution polymerization conditions. Thus, the invention
includes polyolefin products prepared by the invention processes,
particularly ethylene-containing copolymers, having insignificant levels
of mobile, negatively charged particles as detectable by Time of Flight
SIMS.
