A process for making dendritic hydrocarbon polymers by reacting an amount of one or more telechelic hydrocarbon polymers with an amount of one or more multifunctional coupling agents under conditions sufficient to produce the dendritic hydrocarbon polymer. The telechelic hydrocarbon polymer is made by ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) in the presence of bi-functional alkene chain terminating agents (CTAs). The dendritic hydrocarbon polymer can be hydrogenated to produce a substantially saturated dendritic hydrocarbon polymer. The dendritic polyethylenes (dPE) can be used as processability additives to provide extensional hardening in low concentrations in various conventional polyethylenes (PEs) such as HDPE, LLDPE and mLLDPE. |
