J. Koivumaki et Jv. Seppala, COPOLYMERIZATION OF ETHENE AND PROPENE IN LIQUID PROPENE WITH MGCL2 TICL4, VOCL3 AND CP2ZRCL2 CATALYST SYSTEMS - A COMPARISON OF PRODUCTS/, European Polymer Journal, 30(10), 1994, pp. 1111-1115
Ethene was copolymerized in liquid propene with a high activity hetero
geneous MgCl2/TiCl4-triethylaluminium catalyst and with homogeneous VO
Cl3-diethylaluminiumchloride and Cp2ZrCl2-methylaluminoxane catalysts
to study the effect of the catalyst system on the properties of the pr
oducts. The titanium catalyst gave crystallizable ethene blockies at h
igh ethene contents and the zirconium catalyst gave the most random di
stribution of the monomers. The differences in the properties of the p
olymers were not so great as expected.
