The polymerization of ethylene and 1‐octene by a recently developed homogeneous constrained geometry catalyst produces elastomers and plastomers with narrow molecular weight distributions, short chain branching compositions and the unique presence of long chain branching. Particular morphology and network structures in function of density give rise to excellent mechanical and physical properties which make these co‐polymers suitable for a broad range of consumer durable and packaging applications.
