Abstract
C-13 NMR analysis of propene/1-butene block copolymers obtained by gas -phase polymerization with Ziegler-Natta catalysts allows the determin ation of the propagation mte constants for the homopolymerization of t he two monomers. They are very similar for the Solvay type catalyst de lta-TiCl3/AlMe3 and the supported catalyst TiCl4/MgCl2/Phthalate/AlMe3 . The constant of propene polymerization is three times higher than th at of 1-butene polymerization. The high value of the constant found fo r propene polymerization is in agreement with the literature value det ermined by the stopped flow polymerization method.
