Abstract

Abstract The present invention provides an ethylene copolymer comprising constituent units (a) derived from ethylene and constituent units (b) derived from an alpha -olefin having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, the ethylene copolymer being characterized in that (A) the ethylene copolymer has a density (d) of 0.86 to 0.95 g/cm<3>; (B) the ethylene copolymer has a MFR of 0.001 to 50 g/10 min as measured at a temperature of 190 DEG C and a load of 2.16 kg; (C) the melt tension (MT) and MFR of the ethylene copolymer satisfy the relation log MT > -0.66log MFR + 0.6; and (D) the temperature (T) at which the exothermic curve of the ethylene copolymer measured by a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) shows the highest peak and the density (d) satisfy the relation T < 400d - 250. t
