Abstract Copolymerization of ethylene/propylene (EPM) and terpolymerization of ethylene/propylene/5-ethylidene-2-nor-bornene (ENB) were carried out using VCl4 based Ziegler-Natta catalyst. Triisobutylaluminum (TIBA) was used as a cocatalyst while CHCl3 and CCl4 were used as promoters. Effects of [Al]/[V] ratio, temperature, promoters and ENB concentration, relative pressure of P/E, H2 concentration and polymerization time on polymerization behavior were studied. The highest productivity of the catalyst was obtained at [Al]/[V] ratio of 8–10. Increasing the [Al]/[V] ratio increased Et% and Tg and decreased ENB% of the EPDM (ethylene / propylene / diene) obtained. Activity of the catalyst system was higher for EPM than EPDM. ENB concentration affected polymer yield. Increasing ENB from 5 ml/Lit solvent to 10 ml /Lit solvent increased productivity of the catalyst; however, higher concentration decreased the EPDM polymer yield. Addition of ENB increased Et% of the EPDM. Polymerization of EPDM was carried out at temperatures of 25 °C to 75 °C. The highest productivity was obtained at ∼ 50 °C. At reaction temperature of ∼ 55 °C, Et% and ENB% were 65.5% and 9%, respectively. Rp/time profiles were decay types for both EPM and EPDM production. Et% of EPDM increased with polymerization time, while an inverse result was obtained for ENB%. Addition of CHCl3 to 3 ml /lit solvent increased productivity of the catalyst. However, addition of CCl4 did not have such effect on the yield of the polymer obtained. Effect of relative pressure of P/E=1.25:1 to 0.89:1 on EPDM polymerization was studied. Addition of ethylene relative pressure increased Et% and increased Tg of the EPDM obtained. The lowest Tg of the EPDM obtained was −39 °C. A compound made with the EPDM showed good thermal stability.

AbstractIn this work, the effects of two silane type external donors, Ph2Si(OCH3)2 (DPDMS) and dicyclopentyldimethoxysilane (DCPDMS) on propylene slurry polymerization in the presence of hydrogen with a MgCl2/TiCl4/DIBP - Al(C2H5)3 catalyst system were investigated, and the tacticity distribution and molecular weight distribution (MWD) of polypropylene (PP) were further regulated by using silane/ether (ROCH3, R = n-Bu, i-C8H17) composite external donors. The tacticity distribution of PP, as revealed by successive self-nucleation and annealing (SSA) thermo analysis of the polymer, is markedly changed by the external donors. DCPDMS shows much stronger effects than DPDMS. Addition of the ether as an auxiliary external donor in MgCl2/TiCl4/DIBP-TEA/silane (DPDMS or DCPDMS) lead to further increase in catalytic activity and isotacticity of PP, and changes in tacticity distribution. By using the composite external donors, PP with both higher isotacticity index, lower molecular weight or narrower molecular weight distribution was prepared at high activity. Effects of the external donors on the active center distribution were discussed based on the results of deconvoluting the MWD curve with multiple Flory “most-probable” distributions, and possible mechanism of the external donor effects was proposed.

Vinyl ethers, 1-olefins, and styrene were homo- and copolymerized by the use of catalyst derived from a mixture of lithium tetraalkylaluminate (LiAlR4), aluminum chloride (AlCl3), and titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4), in order to determine the nature of the active components present.It is postulated that the active catalyst in the stereospecific polymerization of vinyl ethers is ether-coordinated TiCl3•LiCl, while in the polymerization of 1-olefins and styrene, it is the alkylated derivatives of TiCl3•LiCl.For homo- and copolymerization of styrene, AlR3 seems to be the preferred alkylating agent. About 3 to 4 equivalents of AlR3 are needed for complete alkylation of TiCl3•LiCl, probably due to heterogeneity of the system.Highly isotactic polystyrene and copolymers of styrene with 1-olefins can be prepared in good yields by the use of this catalyst.
