The relationship between molecular structures and physical properties of linear low density polyethylenes (LLDPEs) produced with single‐site catalyst (SSC) was investigated. SSC polymerized LLDPE have excellent physical properties corresponding to its homogeneous molecular structure that had never been achieved by conventional Ziegler‐Natta catalysts. It was found that some SSCs have the capability to produce LLDPEs with narrow molecular weight distribution but excellent melt properties. This result suggests that there exist long chain branches in these LLDPEs.
