42. A reviewer commented that one reason that the high molecular weight copolymers were obtained might be due to the fact that these copolymerizations were conducted under rather high ethylene pressure. High ethylene pressure should be required to obtain the copolymers) with moderate comonomer content(s) with low comonomer conversion(s) (in order to obtain a copolymer with uniform composition); this point also might be considered.
